🔷Sant Andreu de Palomar🔷
San Andrés de Palomar (in Catalan and officially Sant Andreu de Palomar ) is a neighborhood and the oldest part of the district of San Andrés of Barcelona . Old independent municipality with more than 1000 years of documented history, it was annexed to Barcelona on April 20, 1897.
It has an area of ​​174 hectares and has a population of about 55,000 inhabitants. Its limits are: Rovira i Virgili street, old Riera de Horta, Santa Coloma promenade, Meridiana avenue , and railroad tracks.
The first written notice dates from 992 , the year in which an exchange document of an inheritance is signed and in which a place called Palomar is mentioned. In 1034 the names of Saint Andrew, patron of the parish, and Palomar appear together. The limits of the old town of San Andrés de Palomar ran through the Besós river to the Collserola mountain range , and from Moncada and Reixach in the north to San Martín de Provensals in the south. The Horta stream was the division with the neighboring municipality of San Martín. Located on a plain with fertile land, its main activity was agriculture. Irrigation was possible thanks to the Acequia Condal , a canal that around 954 had Count Miró I built to conduct the water from Moncada to Barcelona. During the eleventh , twelfth and thirteenth centuries , a first nucleus of houses was built around the church.
In the 16th century , one can already speak of farmhouses scattered around the demarcation of the town of San Andrés de Palomar. The San Andrés peasantry originated from the leasing or cession of land by an organized middle class. Over time, the different streets around Calle Mayor, the old Roman road, were formed. The industrialization that took place at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century led to the establishment of important companies in San Andrés, such as the Fabra and Coats textile, La Maquinista , Fabricación Nacional de Colorantes, and a large number of small companies and workshops.
