History
Onís has been inhabited by humans since the Neolithic period following the last Ice Age. Artifacts from both the Roman and Moorish conquests of the area have both been discovered, though both peoples were later expulsed from the region. Onís was recorded as sending a representative, Pedro Suárez, to support Pedro I before the Castilian Civil War in the 14th century. It was first recognized as a municipality in 1504 and had its first representative, Juan González de Acebos, in the General Junta of the Principality of Asturias in 1594. During the French invasion of Spain, the French army inhabited the area during its occupation of Asturias. The municipality would suffer further damage as a result of the Third Carlist War and the Spanish Civil War.
In modern times, the agricultural sector continues to be the largest employer in Onís, as it has been throughout its history. The municipality was home to the recipients of the 1994 Premio al Pueblo Ejemplar de Asturias, which recognizes Asturian peoples and villages which are deemed remarkable in their defense of their cultural heritage and values.
