Originally, they were two independent municipalities, "Peñarroya" and "Pueblonuevo del Terrible", which had separated from the municipality of Belmez. It wasn't until 1927 when both localities were merged into a single one, called "Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo". For several decades, it was one of the main industrial and mining centers in the province of Córdoba, also boasting a significant population.
