La Todolella was an Arabic hamlet in the 11th century, before being conquered by the Christian Blasco de Alagón, who placed it under the Town Charter of Morella on the 17th of April 1233. This charter states the limits of the town, without naming it. James I, while in Valencia, later gave Todolella its own charter, under the jurisdiction of Ramón de Calvera, on the 2nd of August 1242. Saranyana was a similar sort of place to La Todolella, and Blasco de Alagón also granted its charter to Bernardo de Calvera. Thus Saranyana and La Todolella came to be subjects of the lordships of Morella.
La Todolella's economy is based on agriculture (cereal crops), livestock (pig and sheep farming), the production of pork products (ham and sausages), handicrafts (handmade espadrilles) and the hotel industry.
In the Plaza Mayor (main square), you can admire the Town Hall, with its segmental arch. From there, head over to the parish church (13th-18th century), and then on to the medieval castle, the sandal factory, the fountain and the public washing place, which includes a recreational area.
The highest elevations in the district are the peaks of Sant Cristòfol, at 1107 m, and Todolella, at 1136 m. The weather, like in the rest of the region, is dry in summer and cold and wet in winter. It has an average elevation of 804 m. The town sits at the foot of the castle, the streets are undulating and relatively narrow, and the town has a pleasant atmosphere.
