Cerecinos of the Carrizal – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cerecinos del Carrizal It is a Spanish municipality belonging to the region of land of the PAN, ^{[ first ]} In the province of Zamora, Autonomous Community of Castilla y León.

The Municipal Shield and Flag were approved by the Plenary Session of the City of Cerecinos del Carrizal in its session of December 3, 2004. The Heraldic Shield of the Municipality is represented according to the following textual or blazon description:

Half shield and cut. 1st gold, make three sinople spikes. 2nd of Azur, silver dove. 3rd of sinople, three golden reeds, put on the girdle on silver and azure waves. At the buzzer, royal crown closed.

The textual description of the flag is the following:

Rectangular flag of proportions 2: 3, formed by two vertical stripes in proportions 1/3 and 2/3, being blue with a white dove that of the horn and five horizontal strips equal three green and two alternated yellow, that of the swing.

Cerecinos could come from the Latin word ceres , that is, place where cereals are harvested, ^{[ 5 ]} To which the diminutive Leonese -ino would have been added in plural, resulting in Cerecinos. However, it could also come from the cherry tree with said diminutive Leonese rigged, although this option seems more unlikely, since it should have reached the current place namely through the voice Cerezal , deriving from Cerezalinos a Cerecinos .

The first human settlements of the term date from the Roman era, of which there have been remains of settlements in several places of the municipal term, such as in the “Regato Los Pajarinos”, in “Valdelasierna” and in “The Charco del Ox”. ^{[ 5 ]} ​

However, its current location or foundation must be related to the repopulation made in the Middle Ages by the Leon kings, who populated Crecinos with people from the Peninsular North, in order to ensure their positions in the vicinity of the Duero River. ^{[ 6 ]} ​

The first written mention of the town dates from the year 1153, when Crecinos is collected as a feudatary of the monastery of San Martín de Castañeda. Years later, in 1183, King Ferdinand II of León granted the town to the order of San Juan and his Commander Pedro González. ^{[ 5 ]} ​

Battered by the Salan River, today called Río Salado, it has been a town of Rancia Vinatera tradition, with a multitude of warehouses excavated on land. From s. XIX, and due to the phylloxera plague, the vineyards disappear and since then agriculture became the main activity of Cerecinos. ^{[ 5 ]} ​

With the creation of the current provinces in 1833, Cerecinos del Carrizal was framed in the province of Zamora, within the Leonese region. ^{[ 7 ]} ​
