Taraguilla was founded due to the Great Siege of Gibraltar
in 1782. At this place the Spanish forces established an important
military camp to atack the Rock, which gave place to its present
name.
It was always closely linked to Gibraltarian Companies and this
is why a race course was built here in 1916 by the Andalusian Horse
Racing Company.
The name Taraguilla appeared for its first time in 1582.
This place may have been where one of the Roman roads included in
the so-called "Antonine Route" was situated.
The village now is strongly linked to the frequent floods that occurred
in Estación de San Roque before that Guadarranque Reservoir
was built.
