Although the current name of this town is much clearer than that of its neighbor Castrocalbón, it is interesting to know that the origin of Castrocontrigo is in the primitive city of Aria, which was the one that gave its name to the Aria/Eria river, which crosses the municipality. , and in turn to the entire Valle del Aria, which ended up being known as Valdería.
