Jimena was conquered by Pedro García de Herrera, Marshal of Castile, on 11 March 1431 under Juan II. In 1451 it returned to Nasrid rule, until Enrique IV conquered it definitively in 1456. In 1717 Felipe V granted it the title "Fiel", and in 1879 Alfonso XII named it a city.

1431, 1451, 1456 (conquistas); 1879 (título de ciudad)
