History:
In pre-historic times, according to archeological findings, there were human settlements, and the population lived on fishing in the pond and in the sea. The name appears in a document of the 1157 century as Oiratili, a place donated from Barisone to his daughter for her marriage. In 1477 the area passed under the Aragonese monarchy, then under the Spaniards and in mid-18th century was included in the Piedmontese kingdom of Sardinia.
