The name of Lloseta origin is uncertain. There are many theories surrounding its root. It is believed that it could be a combination of the Latin word “Laus” (praise) and the Greek “eta” (castle). Another version says that the nam Lloseta would be derived from mozárabe word “Llosada” or llosa (slab, tile) on its origin.

The first traces of human occupation in Lloseta date back to pretalayotic and Talayotic periods. In the village there are five archeological deposits, four burial caves and a fortified enclosure corresponding to these cultures.

The romans, Vandals, Byzantines and then the Arabs are also civilizations that stayed in our Isle but little or nothing is known historically of these dominations.

The real history of the village of Lloseta begins with the conquest of Mallorca carried out by King James I in 1229. Lloseta was a part of the muslim distics of Qanarosa and after the distribution following the conquest, the territory corresponded to Guillem de Montcada, Viscount of Bearn. At his death his wife handed all the possessions to Arnau Togores, with the convenant to keep in each of the farms and lands two knights for their defense.

At that time the town as it is known nowadays did not exist. There were two small centres: the smallest one was Lloseta and the largest one was Aiamans. Nevertheless, the two belonged for two centuries to the neighbouring land of Binissalem.

From the Cadastre of 1578 we could learn that in Lloseta and Aiamans there were three wide estates: Lloseta, Son Pelai i s’Estorell; a cavalry owned by Lluís Togores and eighty other houses and lands. The most powerful families that were ruling the land were the Baile, the Martí, the Prats, and the Miquel i Ramon from Son Ramon.

In order to offset the aid given by the Lords of Togores to the crown, the King Philip III named them barons of Lloseta and counts of Aiamans entitled to administer civil and criminal justice throughout the land.

It wasn’t until the 17th century that the population of lloseta started growing up to reach over 300 inhabitants. In the Spanish Succession War, the Majorcan Kingdom and thus, Lloseta played an important role. On one side, the count of Aiamans, Miquel Joan Ballester Togores participated actively in favor of the Bourbons.

On the other side, it is well known that 20 inhabitants of the village of Lloseta were sent under the commands of of the Viceroy to fight in the defense of the coast of Sa Porrassa and Santa Ponça, anticipating the landing of the troops of Philip V.

With the new Bourbon administration, the counts Aiamans came to have a strong role as councilors of Palma’s City Council, created in 1718.

In The 19th century Lloseta became an independent municipality, achieving independence from Binissalem in 1812 with Lorenzo Catalan as the first mayor in the history of the town.

Another important milestone for the citizens of Lloseta was the arrival of the train and the installation of the railway line Palma-lnca in 1875. This was such an important improvement for the industrial development.

From a basic agrarian system, lloseta evolved to an economy based on mining and afterwards on the footwear industry.

After becoming an autonomous village, in the first decades of the 20th century Lloseta experienced the labour movement manifestations.

Amid the II Republic remained a domain of the right-winged parties even though the council elected in 1931 was repealed by the Government upon the request of a group of locals.

When the Civil war erupted, 9 of the civilians that took part in the conflict died. The Militias were organized in Lloseta and their request was to name Abdon Homar the secretary of the council. Moreover, a new management comitee was formed, headed by the falangist member Joan Mut Jaume.

During the second half of the 20th century Lloseta underwent a profound transformation involving an important population growth resulting from propper functioning of the local economy and the proximity to the capital of the region, Inca.

This population increase generated the development of new areas and the current pattern of the urban framework. After all, Lloseta preserves a consolidated urban space surrounded by beautiful landscapes and nature.
