 By the 16th century, there was already a small village with a hermitage and cemetery, none of which remain.In the mid-18th century, the site of present-day Fuente-Álamo passed to the Region of Murcia, only to become part of the short-lived Province of Chinchilla in 1823, which lasted only a year.In 1833, the current Province of Albacete was established, and that same year Fuente-Álamo was chartered a town.
