San Miguel de Salinas began to be populated around the year 1599, the year in which some owners of surrounding properties began to build the first homes, located in what is currently the urban area. The first religious building (a hermitage) was built in the year 1600, although it was demolished in the year 1689, probably due to its poor condition. The new temple, which is the current one, was completed in 1719; In 1723, at the request of the residents of San Miguel, the Chapter of the Church of the Salvador of Orihuela (to which the hermitage of San Miguel belonged) decided to separate the hermitage, making it an independent parish, with its own priest.
