History

Leioa has its origins in 1526, before which it was part of the "anteiglesia de Erandio".[3] It was a village with no more than 8000 people until the 1960s, when development came its way, as Bilbao expanded. Its population experienced a rapid increase in the 1970s, and a more moderate growth afterwards. It has become a part of metropolitan Bilbao.
