The mechanization of agriculture and the abandonment of small farms have led to a lack of jobs since the 1950s and, as a result, to a migration of a large part of the population to the larger cities ( rural exodus ).

For centuries, the region was dominated by agriculture almost exclusively for the purpose of self-sufficiency ; Animal husbandry and viticulture were also of great importance . Long-life or preserved food such as grain , cheese , sausage, etc. could be bartered or sold at the markets in Aranda de Duero; the region's wine was shipped to Central and Northern Europe. The community is now part of the Ribera del Duero wine region .

Small finds from the Bronze Age have been made in the municipality , but there are still no Celtic , Roman , Visigoth and even Islamic - Moorish finds. At the beginning of the 10th century, the area south of the Duero was recaptured ( reconquista ) and repopulated ( repoblación ) by the Castilian count Gonzalo Fernández de Burgos (ruled approx. 900–915 ) . In the High Middle Ages the town and its surroundings were part of the group consisting of about 20 villages and castles (castillos) secured Comunidad de Villa y Tierra de Aza . In 1504 Queen acquired Isabella I the places Fuentelisendo and Hoyales de Roa for 40 million maravedis , but her daughter sold Joan the Mad later six years, the basic rule (señorio) to the Counts of Miranda.
In the middle of the "wasteland of Corcos" (Páramo de Corcos) , roughly on the border between Fuentelisendo and the neighboring municipality of Valdezate a good 4 km away , was the former village of Corcos , which merged with the municipality of Fuentelisendo in the 17th century; later it was completely abandoned (despoblado) so that houses can no longer be recognized.
