A town of the Valdizarbe documented since the 11th century as "Ainorbe" or "Aniorbe," under mixed lordship —royal, noble, and ecclesiastical— during the Middle Ages. It broke away from the Valdizarbe valley in 1846 to become an independent municipality. Today it has close to 620 inhabitants.

Monument
The parish church of the Asunción holds a Renaissance altarpiece from 1577, the work of Pedro Contreras, with sculptures attributed to the workshop of the Guipúzcoan master Juan de Anchieta, one of the great sculptors of 16th-century Spanish Romanism.
