La Font d'en Carròs is a municipality in the region of La Safor located in the southeast of the province of Valencia. It has about 4,055 inhabitants (census 2013). The village is located in the area of contact between the plain and the mountains, so some of its streets are more or less gentle slopes. In the main square is the fountain that gave its name to the town.

At the summit of Rabat there are remains of an Iberian settlement that was later Romanized. And from the Roman period, fragments of terra sigillata have been found in the area of Les Jovades and imperial coins and remains of possible statues and buildings in the chapel of San Miguel, where there must have been an important early imperial rustic villa. The current population is of Roman origin, with a high percentage of French immigration from the XVII century, belonging to the jurisdiction of the castle of Rebollet. The current name of the town is due to the fact that it was conquered by the noble Carroz (in Valencian, in is a treatment equivalent to lord or monsignor, derived from mossén), exercising the lordship his descendants. At the end of the XIV century it passed to the Centelles, belonging to the jurisdiction of the counts of Oliva and dukes of Gandía, until in 1771 the lordship passed to the duchy of Osuna.
