The Poble Nou de Benitatxell has an interesting and rich past thanks to the different cultures that inhabited the different towns and farmhouses and that left very visible traces in the toponymy, language in general and some buildings and customs.

The first signs of occupation date back to the Palaeolithic period, in studies carried out in the Cova del Moro. In this same site and in the Forats del Barranc de l'Asbardal ravine, remains from the Chalcolithic period (between 2,200 BC - 1,800 BC) have also been found. And from the Bronze Age (1,800 BC - 700 BC) there is evidence of settlers in the Tossal d'Arnau and the Tossal Redó. Both are located on the upper part of two hills, presumably in a situation of defence and control of the territory.

In the Iberian period (550 BC - 210 BC), the presence of three important settlements has been observed. The Tossal de l'Abiar is still a settlement with a clear defensive purpose. However, interesting artefacts have been found nearby on the slope of the hill known as Cova de les Bruixes (Witches' Cave). There is also evidence of ceramic remains in els Valentins and la Font.

In El Poble Nou de Benitatxell there are important traces of the Roman period (210 - 476 BC) in l'Abiar. The settlement of Tossal del Abiar is considered an agricultural habitat that also exercised control over the surrounding territory. This is due to the fact that it is an area rich in groundwater, which favoured agricultural exploitation. Remains linked to wine production have also been found in the Pous de l'Abiar.

Towards the south of the current town centre, it is thought that there may have been settlements on the camí de la Roca. In El Pinaret, different remains of Late Roman materials have also been found.

One of the most important legacies of the Islamic period is the toponymic contribution that even appears in the name of the municipality, Benitatxell (with references to Benitagell). From this culture, the names of villages such as Lluca, Abiar, Alcassar, Moraig (Almoraig), Benicambra, etc. have been preserved.

In 1497, there was still an independent settlement in the Lluca district. In Abiar, the existence of several farmsteads has been detected in the 11th century, with architectural remains of water wells, a cave and a manor house. There is also evidence of a Hispano-Muslim necropolis in Alcassar. And in ancient Benitagell, structures such as silos and small food stores have been documented. This farmstead would have been located on the current church grounds.

From all this, the great importance of Arab culture in the municipality is evident.
