The name is of Iberian origin. At that time there were a lot of villages with names ending in "que".

After the reconquest of Toledo, the village belonged to the Knights Hospitaller.

Buildings of interest include:

• the main square (Plaza Mayor)^[2]
• the church of the Assumption (Nuestra Señora de la Asunción), which dates from the 16th century.

Francisco de Tembleque gave his name to the Aqueduct of Padre Tembleque in Mexico. This structure is now a World Heritage Site.^[3]

• Nena Goodman (1910-1998), New York artist and philanthropist^[4]
