The first reliable historical records of Utrera date back to the Christian Reconquista. In 1253, Alfonso X distributed the conquered lands in the province of Seville. The settlers of the area, among whom was a significant Jewish community, carried out a series of public works, creating the original village that would become the city of today.

Throughout the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries, the city played a prominent role, experiencing a period of great prosperity as evidenced by the numerous public works undertaken during that time. From the beginning of the 19th century, Utrera underwent renewed industrial development, culminating in its designation as a city on March 29, 1877, during the reign of Alfonso XII.

It currently has 52.558 inhabitants.
