Azuébar is a village in the Espadán mountains with Bronze Age remains, and in the 19th century it was known for its mercury furnaces.
Its origin goes back to the Bronze Age, according to the sites of Peña Ajuerá and Pico Bellota. In 1237 it is first mentioned in the Llibre del Repartiment, which gives it to the Aragonese nobleman Gonzálvez de Heredia. On 27 November 1609 José Folch de Cardona granted the settlement charter, together with the 39 families that came to Soneja; Azuébar received 6. On 21 June 1838 General Amor clashed with the Carlist leader Forcadell.
The parish church of San Mateo is from the 17th century and the mercury furnaces from the 19th.
