The name comes from the stone boundary markers erected in the 18th century to demarcate lands acquired by Charles III for hunting. During the Spanish Civil War, it was a strategic area with a Republican detachment stationed there. It formerly housed the Valcotos ski resort, which no longer exists.

The port of Cotosa or Puerto del Paular is a mountain pass in the Guadarrama mountain range, which separates the Spanish provinces of Segovia and Madrid. It is located at 1830 m altitude. It separates the valleys of Valsaín, to the west, and Lozoya, to the east. It also separates the Peñalara massif, to the north, and the Cuerda Larga mountain range, to the south. It receives the name "Los Cotos" because of the small stone posts, called cotos, that existed until the 20th century to indicate the path that crossed it when the snow covered it.
