Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla Vieja is named for one of the seven administrative divisions (merindades) that existed in Old Castile from the 16th century until the administrative reorganization set up in 1835. The municipality of Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla la Vieja - that is, the Spanish municipality with the longest name - was formed in 1975 by the merging of the former municipalities of Villarcayo and Merindad de Castilla la Vieja (capital, Cigüenza), the two municipalities having been separated in 1843. The villages of Miñon and Villamezan, once part of the Merindad de Castila Vieja, were transferred into the municipality of Medina de Pomar.
