The current municipality of Amorebieta-Etxano is the final result of the evolution of the Merindad de Zornotza which included, during the foral period of the Señorío de Bizkaia, the Anteiglesias of Etxano, Amorebieta, Ibarruri and Gorozika, as well as the town of Larrabetzu. The first two were merged in the municipality of Amorebieta-Etxano and the other two became part of the Ugarte de Múgica City Council.
Amorebieta-Etxano is the best town to live in. Located in the region of Duranguesado and the valley of Arratia and 20 km from the Biscayan capital, the zornotzarras coexist in their day-to-day in its streets and places of reference such as the Town Hall, the Plaza, the Zelaieta and Nafarroa centers, the School of Music or the Convention House. Ample parks and green spaces located in the center come together with historical buildings such as the churches of Andra Mari and Larrea. A hallmark of its identity is the farmhouses, buildings with significant historical value that make Amorebieta-Etxano a town rooted in its roots.
