On 18 July 1839, during the Carlist Wars, General Leopoldo O'Donnell defeated the troops of the Carlist Ramón Cabrera at Les Useres (Castellón). The victory earned O'Donnell the title of Count of Lucena, under which he went down in Spanish military history of the period. The episode remains one of the most remembered events in the town during the 19th-century Carlist conflict.
