It is not known when the village of El Cardoso was founded, although its existence is attested from the 9th century, when Buitrago del Lozoya fell into Christian hands and they began to repopulate the Sierra de Ayllón. In the 11th century, El Cardoso, El Vado, and Colmenar de la Sierra were included in the Ochavo de la Sierra of the Community of Villa and Land of Sepúlveda.[2]
