The municipality of Valverde de Burguillos (273 inhabitants in 2019; 1,950 ha) is located 90 km south-east of Badajoz and 25 km north-east of Fregenal de la Sierra. For most of history, the village depended on neighboring (10 km) Valverde del Cerro.
Valverde de Burguillos was renamed from Valverde by a Royal Decree issued on 27 June 1916 and published on 2 July 1916 in Gaceta de Madrid, No. 184, pp. 11-16 (text) that amended the names of 573 Spanish municipalities to prevent confusions.
