Toponym


The town name is originally a hybrid between the Arabic term إقطاع ("iqṭā"), which means "land", and the Valencian term "roja", which means red.[3]


Local politics


The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party held the mayoralty from 1979 until 1995 when a People's Party-led administration replaced them. This served until 2015 when Coalició Compromís gained the mayoral position as part of a minority administration.
