The municipality of La Carlota (12,827 inhabitants in 2008; 7,897 ha; municipal website) is located 30 km south-west of Córdoba. The municipality is made of the town of La Carlota and of the ten departments of La Paz, Los Algarbes, Monte Alto, El Arrecife, El Garabato, La Chica Carlota, Las Pinedas, El Rinconcillo, Fuencubierta and Aldea Quintana.
La Carlota 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.
The first colonists, coming mostly from the border regions of France and from Germany, arrived in La Carlota on 14 October 1768; one year later, the village counted 1,151 inhabitants, spread between the main nucleus, the original hamlets of Fuencubierta, El Garabato, Petit Carlota, Las Pinedas and Aldea Quintana, and scattered settlements.
