The municipality of Valverde de Llerena (585 inhabitants in 2019; 4,120 ha) is located on the border with Andalusia (Province of Seville), 150 km south-east of Badajoz and 30 km east of Llerena.

Valverde de Llerena was once known as Valverde de Reina, Valverde de Azuaga or Valverdejo. The town was established by Rodrigo de Valverde, Commander of Vález for the Order of Saint James in 1240, who decided to increase a small hamlet.
Valverde was granted the status of villa in 1559 by Philip II, remaining a dependency of Llerena. Valverde was definitively separated from the Order of Saint James in 1586 when acquired by Mariana de Córdoba, Marchioness of Villanueva del Río, to be eventually incorporated into the Duchy of Alba.
