: : : A brief history of Beasain : : : (554 words)
The first one comes from the Middle Ages when Beasain was included in the territory of Gipuzkoa; the second began in the 19th century, with the arrival of industrialization.
From then on, the Beasaindarras (the people of Beasain) developed their own organization, in the same way as any other village of Gipuzkoa: the opportunity to choose a mayor-judge; the right to have a representative in the Meetings of the territory; the obligation to pay common expenses, etc.
Beasain was where the first Blast Furnace in Gipuzkoa and the first producers of tin in the Basque Country were located, including their English workers.
: : : History summary : : : (682 words)
Whilst the people of Beasain organized their lives around the local community and the town council, in Igartza the daily routine was organized around the Lord of the area, most specifically around only one person.
In order to be from Beasain, the town, the town district and the town leaders became necessary; on the other hand, to be from Igartza, there were no frontiers: any place where a relative, customer or servant of the Lord of Igartza was present was Igartzatarra (from Igartza).
To use a present day example, if the citizens of Beasain in those days showed us "their ID car" Ordizia-Beasain would be their identifying points, but those of Igartza, on the other hand, would be shown by Oinatz-Lazkano-Igartza.
