The municipality of The Crow is located in the southern end of the county of Seville, being bordering with that of Cádiz. Their lands occupy the transition space between the Countryside and the Swamps. In 1.996 it had 7.588 inhabitants.
The history of this town has been intimately together to the municipality of Lebrija, to which has belonged until time recently. The human presence in this region goes back until the Neolithic one and the Age of the Brass, although in its origins the lands of the current swamps of the First floor Guadalquivir would be low the waters of the call Lacus Ligustinus. In Roman time it is located in a crossroad of roads with the roadway denominated Via August. After the step of the Arab, the area is conquered by Fernando's Christian troops III the Saint by the middle of the XIII century, although with posteriority the Muslims try to recover it in several occasions. In this time, the place was already known as The Crow, being named this way in the actual distribution of lands by Alfonso X the Sage to attempt its repopulation. At the beginning of the XX century, the City council of Lebrija denominates it Village of Rodalabota. The municipal independence is reached in 1.992.
The urban nucleus is located sensibly in a topography area flat. There are not physical impediments that condition the urban development, except for a slope something bigger in the sector noroccidental. The provincial limit, on the other hand that surrounds the population for the south, it mediatizes at administrative level their growth.
The Crow is a town of recent creation. Their origin and urban development are bound to the highway N-IV (Seville-Cádiz) that crosses it almost from north to south for their western sector, as well as to the existence of the House of Posts, base of the establishment and one of the few existent constructions at the end of the XIX century. It was used as place of provisioning of horses for the mail and I eat inn. The population's central nucleus comes determined by the existence of that infrastructure viaria and of the net of traditional rural roads. The Crow experiences most of his development between 1.900 and 1.960, in both riverbanks of the highway, although mainly to the east of the same one. Starting from that date, lineal growths take place toward the north, the south and the east and some interior holes are stuffed, for that that at the present time the town presents a quite compact form.
It is an establishment of character semiespontáneo, built by journeymen and vendimiadores. Most of the constructions rise on small agricultural parcels, with tipologías autoconstruidas (initially shacks). The growth has been carried out in way something chaotic and irrational, especially in the expansion of the quarter The Buck. The street Fernando Chamber Gálvez structures in good measure the nucleus, crossing it of northwest to southeast (in perpendicular to the highway).
Among their constructions of artistic historical interest they highlight the House of Posts ("The Mill", of the XVIII century), the hermitage of the Rosario's Virgin and San José's parish (1.928).
