History

There are doubts regarding the origins of its name. Some historians, including García de Diego, claim that the name comes from the Latin Mormulium, which means source. Others state that the origin of the village is probably an Arab farmstead called Boromuji.

Some artefacts dating back to the period of Al-Andalus have been discovered on the estate of Valencilla.

The village was conquered by Ferdinand III and was subject to the jurisdiction of the city of Seville until the end of the 17th century or early 18th century. In the cause list of Alphonso X it is listed with the name Mormujos, and in the 18th century it still appears with the same name.

At the end of the 17th century, or early 18th, it was annexed to the domain of the Guzmán family. It became an independent municipality in 1837, when feudal domains were abolished.
