Napoleon's troops in the so-called Battle of San Onofre (June 27, 1808). The
troops of the Division Valencia were captained by Brigadier Saint-Marc. Pope Leo
XIII stated in this holy anchorite, who is credited with the miracle of the end of a
cholera epidemic in 1885, principal patron of the villa.
The musical group La Amistad and the Cooperative San Jose were founded, and
on May 23, 1889, a whistle announced to the public, the step, for the first time,
the commuter train line Valencia – Riba-roja de Túria
Already in the 20th century, the town became the starting point of the so-called
Plan Sur, which involved the diversion of the river Turia after the tragic flood of
1957 with the objective of not traversing Valencia. For his area runs A-3 highway
that connects Valencia and Madrid, which has led the development of one of the
most important industrial areas of the province and a major population change.
If in the early 1960s, Quart de Poblet had little more than five thousand
inhabitants, ten years after the arrival of people, mainly from Andalusia, Murcia,
Aragon and Castilla-La Mancha, whose work and contributions have enriched
culturally and economically the town, fired that figure and stood at nearly 26,000
current residents.
On April 19, 1979 the first democratic City Council since the Spanish Civil War of
1936 was set up in Quart de Poblet.
In recent years Quart de Poblet has seen the completion of the burial work of
line 5 of MetroValencia throughout the municipality, which has led the demise
of the Valencia commuter C4 line pathways from Vara de Quart to Quart of
Poblet, leaving no rail link with the municipality of Xirivella but connecting the
airport of Valencia and the towns of Manises. From Quart de Poblet the centre
of Valencia can be reached in less than 25 minutes.
