history

Llosa was a place of relaxation with a mosque and baths during the Moorish era. After the reconquest, James I of Aragon distributed the land, founded the place and named it Lloesa after one of his feudal lords . In 1520 Juan Sanz de la Llosa sold the estate to various residents of Xàtiva and Llosa. In 1609, the Moors who lived here were driven out and it was left depopulated during the expulsion of the latter. It was repopulated by Christians. In 1646 there were 23 households with 100 people. In the late eighteenth century, around 1,000 people lived in 291 houses. In 1897 the population had grown to 2024.
