Valencia was founded by the Romans as a colony in 138 BC. C., being consul Tenth June Bruto Galaico, and was named Valentia Edetanorum.
Several centuries later, in the year 711, the Muslims occupied the city, contributing their language, religion and customs, such as the introduction of irrigation systems and the introduction of new crops.

The Arabs called it مدينة التراب (Madīna at-Turab, 'City of sand'), because it is located on the bank of the Turia River,
while they reserved the term بلنسية (Balansīa) for the entire taifa of Valencia.
In the time of Abd al-Aziz, the city recovered the name Balansīa, which would become Valencia in Spanish.
