Name

edit

According to Manuel Fernández Escalante the toponym Iriépal may be connected to the Basque iri-ipariri-ibar ('city of the valley'), while Javier de Hoz stressed the -pal ending as connected to the Latin palus ('swamp').[2]

History

edit

A former municipality, Iriépal was absorbed by the provincial capital in 1969, together with Valdenoches and Taracena.[3]
