It takes its name from the Muslim hamlet called ‘Alba’ and was a part of Vilafamés until the 4th of July 1925, when it became independent. James I ceded the place to the Monastery of Benifassà. It then returned to the crown, before being given to the Order of the Hospital. It is subsequently granted its charter (1264) in Borriana, and then passes into the jurisdiction of the Order of Montesa.
The economy of Vall d'Alba is based on the agricultural and livestock sector, as well as on fledgling services and small industries.
