 In an account book of Don Fernando from 1355, it already mentions the town with the name of "Monfort".After the conflict of "The Two Pedros" between Pedro I of Castile and Pedro IV of Aragon, Monfort tried to separate from the Crown of Aragon to switch to that of Castile.In punishment, Pedro IV demoted it back to the "village", returned the toponym "Nompot" and passed a law that said the population would remain ""im perpetuom"" to the, by then, Villa de Alicante.
