HISTORY:
Villareal

Formerly called Umauas, in the 1700s, it was part of the town of Calbiga. The Jesuits had built a church there, which is reported to have been burnt around 1714. On 12 March 1863, Umauas became an independent town after being separated from Calbiga and given the name Villareal. There years later it was established as a parish in accordance with the directive of 12 March 1863, and separated from Calbiga.
