The titles of Lord of Alburquerque (de Meneses) and later Count of Alburquerque (de Castilla) and Duke of Alburquerque (de La Cueva) were important in Castile in the Middle Ages (e.g. Sancho of Castile, Count of Alburquerque).

Its sister city of Albuquerque, New Mexico in the United States takes its name from this town.
