The municipality of Fuente Palmera (10,893 inhabitants in 2016; 7,473 ha; municipal website) is located 50 km south-west of Córdoba. The municipality is made of the town of Fuenta Palmera and of the villages of El Villar (701 inh.), Villalón (353 inh.), La Ventilla (730 inh.), Silillos (619 inh.), Peñalosa (597 inh.), Ochavillo del Río (1,000 inh.), La Herría (290 inh.), and Cañada del Rabadán (891 inh.).
Fuente Palmera is one of the New Settlements of Sierra Morena and Andalusia, established by Royal Letters (text) signed on 5 July 1767 in Madrid by King Charles III. The document contains "instructions and the settlement charter to be applied in those [settlements] newly established in the Sierra Morena with natives and Roman Catholic foreigners". The Preamble of the Letters states that Pablo de Olavide, Knight of the Order of St. James, "Assistant" of the king in Seville and Intendent of the Army of Andalusia, is appointed Superintendant General in charge of the direction of the new settlements to be established in Sierra Morena. The king "proposes" that Juan Gaspar de Thurriégel, of Bavarian citizenship and Roman Catholic religion, introduces 6,000 Roman Catholic, German and Flemish colonists in the kingdom.

In the center of the map is the village's square, represented like an eight-pointed star, on the model of the star characteristic of Al-Andalus (for the Arab origin of the locality).
In the lower part, the two lines represent river Guadalquivir.
Above the main part are placed nine stars, which, together with the star in the center of the coat of arms, represent the ten settlements forming the colony.
On the left side is inscribed "SUBASIL", the first known name of the settlement, of Arab origin; on the right side is inscribed "ALDEA DEL RÍO", the name given to the colony when established.
Colours: Green, as distinctive of the people of Al-Andalus, and violet, as a reference to the purple color of the flag of the people of Castile.
