In the 13th century, the king of Castile and the king of Navarre exchanged it for some towns in current Rioja. A population growth ensued.
This explains why it is a Burgos exclave surrounded by Álava land. The Alavese capital Vitoria-Gasteiz is much nearer than Burgos. Basque irredentism claims the county (Trebiñuko Konderria in Basque) as part of Álava, but the Castile-Leon government opposes the transfer.
