The archaeological remains that have been found throughout the municipality of Rincón de la Victoria indicate that the entire area was already inhabited in the Palaeolithic period around 1000 BC. Among others, the Phoenicians settled down on a hill near the coast in 750 BC. A little later the Romans followed and then the Moors settled down.

In the 12th century the settlement which was called Bezmiliana was conquered and depopulated by catholic kings. It was not until 1492 that people settled again in Bezmiliana. They were predominantly working in the agricultural sector. In 1569 a revolt of the Moriscos nearly destroyed the settlement. It lasted until the 19th century before new people began settling in Bezmiliana. Then however, under a new name: Rincón de la Victoria.

Amongst others, the Cueva del Tesoro (en.: treasure cave) and the Roman excavations in Torre de Benagalbón give an impression of how the ancestors of Rincón de la Victoria might have lived.
