Although there is evidence of human settlements in Jete since the Neolithic period, with burial caves and evidence of abundant lithic and ceramic industries, the origin of the current settlement dates back to an era in which Muslim populations lived in the area. Geographers spoke from the eleventh and twelfth centuries of a settlement known as “Set”, “Xet” and “Yeth” - a name that means “shore” or “bank” - as a farm belonging to the Alfoz of Almuñécar.
