Toponymy

According to Agustín Ubieto, the first mention of the place dates from 948 or 962, in the work of his brother, Antonio Ubieto, Cartulario de San Juan de la Peña II, in Textos Medievales, 6 (Valencia, 1963) and documents the variations Bergossa, Bergosi, Bergasa, Uergosa, Uergossa and Bergosa.[1]

Geography

In 1966, the place was expropriated, as in the rest of the Garcipollera, in order to carry out an important reforestation of conifers on its slopes as a measure to retain the erosion caused by the construction of the Yesa Reservoir.[2]
