It is said that Crevillente was first settled as far back as the Paleolithic era, but as with all of this region, it was the Romans who were the first real settlers. The Moors conquered Crevillente and, like many towns in the area, introduced new irrigation systems which would help the region move forward into an agricultural age.

El Hondo was given national park status in 1998. There are a couple of endangered species in the animal world and some magnificent specimens of flora.

One of the main festivals here is the Festival of the Moors and Christians. This is held in honor of the patron saint of the town, St Francis of Assisi. The festivities begin on the first weekend of October. The daily urban bustle is replaced by an explosion of light, color, fireworks, and music. The true originality of this festival is in marketing its historical foundations, as manifested in the names of the groups (Astures, Almogávares, Bedouins, benimerines, …), some of these go back to the Crevillente of the thirteenth century and whose originality is that there are no winners or losers, it is a true symbol of brotherhood and tolerance between the two-Moorish and Christian communities.
