Horta Nord , Valencia,Spain .Godella was founded in 1238 by the cession of
James I of Aragon of a region named "Godayla" to the Aragonese Pedro Maza.Although part of the municipal area is cultivated (producing diverse foodstuffs such as
potato es andonion s), agriculture is not a principal economic activity of the municipality.The principal characteristic of Godella is the numerous urban developments within its boundaries, which were made to attract middle- or upper-class immigrants from the other municipalities in the comarca. Accordingly, it has a higher rate of population growth than nearby municipalities.
