Benafigos, in the Alto Maestrazgo, was part of the barony of Culla and shared its fate: Templars, Montesa and the Crown.
On 5 October 1203 Peter II gave Benafigos, as part of the Boi castle, to Arnaldo Palacín. In 1235 James I gave Culla to Blasco de Alagón and on 23 March 1244 the settlement charter of Culla was granted, of which Benafigos formed part. On 27 March 1303 Culla was sold to the Templars and in 1319 it passed to Montesa.
On 4 April 1593 it passed to the Crown under Philip II. On 17 August 1812 a battle took place between Asensio Nebot and General Mazzuchelli, and on 28 June 1875 it left Carlism behind.
On 7 June 1938 the 1st Navarre Division entered. In 2023 it joined the Alto Maestrazgo comarca.
