According to historical data obtained from documents of the Bishopric of León, reference is already made in the year 1017 to the inhabitants of Arcahueja, who commit themselves before the Bishop of León to serve his See with their possessions and inheritances. There is also another ancient reference that dates back to the year 1180 and that according to document is donated to the Monastery of Sandoval. Arcahueja forms part of the Valdefresno Town Hall, which historically, together with Villaturiel, is linked to the Sobarriba Brotherhood, a popular movement born to defend small rural centres against the urban councils.
