Municipality made up of about ten small settlements north of Vitoria-Gasteiz, formed in 1920 by the merger of the former municipalities of Arrazua and Ubarrundia. Both are already cited in 1025 in the Reja de San Millán as two of the districts into which medieval Álava was divided; most of their villages were assigned to the jurisdictions of Vitoria and Villarreal in the 14th century, leaving Ubarrundia and Arrazua reduced to their present size.
