History
The place's repopulation presumably dates back to the late 12th to early 13th century. Throughout the rest of the Middle Ages, Tarancón was a hamlet belonging to the land of Uclés, a dominion of the Order of Santiago after 1174. Uclés was granted township status in 1537. It was granted the title of 'city' (ciudad) in 1921.
