History
The municipality of Mancor was formerly made up of four farmhouse communities or alquerías: Mancor, Biniatzent, Biniarroi and Massanella. These small communities came to depend on Selva and became part of this parish in 1248. This remained the case until 1913, with the construction of the Mancor parish church (Sant Joan Baptista).
This town has popularly and historically been known as Mancor since 13th century. When, in 1925, the municipality established itself independently of Selva, it was given the Castilian name Mancor del Valle.
In 1984, the official name was translated into the regional language to become Mancor de la Vall, but the name used more popularly remains that of Mancor.
