The origin of Pinoso is uncertain, since the settlements happened to be Iberian, Roman, Muslim towns, etc. The traces of its history can be traced in the deposits, while the recent one still appears in many corners. The oldest remains date from the Upper Paleolithic, and in the Bronze Age there would appear some stable settlements, of which remains have been found in several parts of the municipality. During the Roman domination the invaders showed their predilection for this land, in which agriculture provided an abundance of food, such as wines and oils, highlighting the location of four villas. On the contrary, there are few remains of the Muslim period, when Pinoso was a group of scattered farmhouses. Following the Treaty of Almizra (1244), the area became part of the Crown of Castile (integrated into the Manor of Villena), until in 1296, Jaime II annexed the region to the Crown of Aragon. Chroniclers of the time report that this frontier was visited by the Castilian and Aragonese nobility, because at that time it was an ideal hunting area, with a high hunting value, being largely depopulated to the efforts of agricultural and human colonization initiated in the eighteenth century. At that time it received the name of "Houses of Coast", appearing in numerous maps of the time. In 1773 it began to be known as Pinoso, at a time when it increased its population notably. Precisely because of the lack of capacity, in 1739 the church was built in the place where there was an old hermitage, being dedicated to Saint Peter the Apostle. Until its segregation, as early as the 19th century, Pinoso was part of the domains of the Duchy of Híjar, and under the protection of the town of Monóvar, on which it depended administratively as a district.

It is located northeast of the region of the Marina Alta, in the pre-coastal depression north of the Valencian pre-Hispanic. The foothills of the Sierra de Segaria, in the north of the area, are the only elevations of its territory, otherwise quite flat. It crosses the ravine of the Fusta and the rivers Verde and Girona that begins to build its delta downstream of the town. The main urban nucleus is 4 km away. of the Mediterranean coast on the banks of the river Girona.

The first vestiges of human settlements near Ondara are located in the caves of Colom and Corb (paleolithic medium) and cave Fosca (eneolítico) in the Sierra de Segaria, and on top of it, with an Iberian settlement. On the different theories that would explain the ONDARA place-name, it seems that Professor Manuel Sanchís Guarner's is the most rigorous. According to him, it would come from ONDAR, an Iberian word meaning sand. Special interest, due to its proximity to the current urban area and linked to the arrival of Roman settlers in Dénia, the appearance of several villas, necropolis and Roman ceramics in the games of Pla de la Font, Pujades and Vinyals, where they have recovered many vestiges. Both the town (called then Ondia) and its castle are of Muslim origin. There is documented evidence that the Cid Campeador temporarily occupied the castle, where he threatened in 1089 the city of Denia, which belonged at that time to the king of Lleida of the Al Mundir al-Hayib dynasty. Later, it was attacked by Alfonso I the Battler in the course of his military expedition through Andalusia in 1125. However, it is King Jaime I of Aragon who entered the place on June 6, 1244 and annexed it to the Kingdom of Valencia. During this time, the town belonged, sometimes to the kings, others to different particular gentlemen, like Berenguer de Pablo, Pedro Episcopal, etc. In the year 1323, King Jaime II gave his son Pedro, Infante de Aragón, population and term. At the beginning of the XVI century, Ondara will be the scene of some warlike passages of the war of the Germanías (1520-1523). There were Vicente Peris, leader of the agermanado movement, and the Marquis de Zenete, brother of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, viceroy of Valencia, on the other side. The population remained predominantly of Islamic religion until the expulsion of the Moors in 1609, after which the population increased from 1,000 to 200 inhabitants. New settlers from other places in the region and the Balearic Islands then came to fill the demographic vacuum produced. The seventeenth century will be a period of slow demographic and economic recovery, with some outbreaks of bubonic plague, until the War of Succession, where his active participation in favor of the Archduke Charles of Austria, it was, after the defeat, a revenge by the Bourbon troops. Ondara was burned and looted. The cultivation of the raisin was the engine of the urban growth of the 19th century, which was interrupted by the epidemic of phylloxera at the beginning of the 20th century; this ended the local economy and condemned the waverenses to emigration, especially to Argentina and the French Algeria.
