Description

As its name indicates, the foundation is Arab. After the conquest, King James I donated it to Pere de Montagut. In 1330, the first documented record of Benimodo appears in which it is mentioned as a village populated by Moors under the lordship of Pelegrí de Montagut, lord of Carlet. It later passed to the Vilanova family, who, in 1362, sold it to the city of Valencia. In 1375 it was bought by the Castellví family. In 1522, it was sacked by the Agermanados of Alzira. At the time of the expulsion of the Moors, as a result of which it was uninhabited, it had 150 houses. The next record of the population is from 1715, when it had 405 inhabitants in the current village. The place known as El Ressalany has never been repopulated.

José María Ots Capdequí, born in Valencia, lived and died in Benimodo. He was a historian specialised in the study of Spanish institutions in Spanish America during the colonial period.
