It is the capital of a small region formed by eight organizations: Navarredonda, the Mezquitilla, Algibón, Garzón, the Lebrona, the Nuns, Postero and the Saucedilla.
Archaeological rest that demonstrate the presence of the man in these earth in the Paleolítico, in the Neolithic one and in the Age of the Bronze exist. Some authors locate in them the Roman municipality of Irni. In the final phase of the Muslim dominion, this region is located closely together of the Castilian border, which makes the existence difficult of an establishment of stable population. After the Christian conquest, the zone is given Ordenes Military. During centuries XIV and XV, the Saucejo is only one small village destined to the monitoring of the ways and the cattle. The possibility of a Muslim attack remains present, continuing the insecurity situation. In century XVI the Christians build one "populates" with houses destined to colonos come from safer places, to those who delivery is done to them of lots of earth for the culture located in a place dominated by the forests of willows. Thus the Puebla is born of the Saucejo, that happens to depend on the House Ducal de Osuna. Century XVII one becomes a locality of certain importance.
The main body is located in the confluence of diverse ways and highways, that unite to him with Osuna (to the north), with the Corrals (to the east), with Almargen (province of Malaga, to the Southeastern), with Algámitas (to the southwest) and with the village of Mezquitilla (to the west).
The Saucejo presents/displays an irregular morphology, as much in its global form as in its road layout. The primitive nucleus is located in the surroundings of the church (central zone of the population), counting on unequal later developments towards the north and the Southeastern. In the highways of exit towards Algámitas and the Corrals very linear growth lean. In the existing spaces between the different ways from exit they appear some great urban emptinesses without building, that contribute to give to the nucleus the mentioned irregular form.
Between its constructions of artistic historical interest it emphasizes the church of San Marcos, built towards 1.700.
