Prehistory and pre-Roman people
Archaeological research at Atapuerca indicates the Iberian Peninsula was peopled many ago. Modern humans began arriving in the Iberian Peninsula through the Pyrenees. The best known artifacts of these prehistoric human settlements are the famous paintings in the Altamira cave of Cantabria in northern Spain.
Archaeological and genetic evidence strongly suggests that the Iberian Peninsula acted as one of three major refugia from which northern Europe was vastly repopulated following the end of the last ice age.
The two main historical peoples of the peninsula were the Iberians and the Celts, the former inhabiting the Mediterranean side from the northeast side to the southwest, the latter inhabiting the Atlantic side, in the north and northwest part of the peninsula. In the most inner part of the peninsula, where both groups were in contact, a mixed, distinctive culture, known as Celtiberian, was present.
In addition, Basques occupied the western area of the Pyrenees. Other ethnic groups existed along the southern coastal areas of Andalusia. Among these southern groups there grew the earliest urban culture in the Iberian Peninsula, that of the semi-mythical southern city of Tartessos (pre-1100 BC) near the location of Cádiz. The flourishing trade in gold and silver between the people of Tartessos and Phoenicians and Greeks is documented in the history of Strabo and in the biblical book of king Solomon.
Between 500 BC and 300 BC, the seafaring Phoenicians and Greeks founded trading colonies all along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Carthaginians took control of much of the Mediterranean coast in the course of the Punic Wars, until they were eventually replaced by the Romans.
Roman Empire and the Germanic Kingdoms: During the Second Punic War, an expanding Roman Empire captured the Carthaginian trading colonies along the Mediterranean coast from roughly 210 BC to 205 BC, leading to Roman control of almost the entire Iberian Peninsula; this lasted over 500 years, and they were bound together by law, language, and the Roman roads.
The base Celt and Iberian population remained, and local leaders were admitted into the Roman aristocratic class. Hispania served as a granary for the Roman market, and its harbours were used to export gold, wool, olive oil, and wine.

Some Palma history
The 17th century was characterised by the division of the city in two sides or gangs, named Canamunts and Canavalls (from Majorcan Catalan "the ones from the upper/lower side"), with very severe social and economical repercussions. During this period the main port became a corsair's haven. During the last quarter of the century, the Spanish Inquisition reinforced its prosecution of the Jews, locally named xuetes.
The fall of Barcelona in 1714 meant the end of the Spanish Succession War and tsignalled he end of the Crown of Aragon, and this was reflected on the Decretos de Nueva Planta, issued by Phillip V of Spain in 1715. This decree changed the government of the island and separated it from the municipality's government of Palma, which then became the official city name.
By the end of the 19th century, the term Palma de Mallorca was used in written Spanish, although it is still colloquially named Ciutat (City) in Catalan. In the 18th century Charles III of Spain removed interdiction of commerce with Spanish colonies in America and the port and ithe commercial activity of the city grew once again.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Palma became the place of refuge of many who had exiled themselves from the Napoleonic occupation of Catalonia and Valencia; during this period freedom flourished, until the absolutist restoration.
With the establishment of the contemporary Spanish state administrative organisation, Palma became the capital of the new province of the Balearic Islands in 1833. The French occupation of Algeria in the 19th century ended the fear of Maghrebi attacks, which favoured the expansion of new maritime lines, and as a result, the economic growth of the city, which suffered a demographic increase, with the birth of new nucleus of population.
Since the 1950s, the advent of mass tourism has radically changed the physiognomy of both the city and island, transforming it for visitors and attracting workers from mainland Spain. This contributed to a huge change in the local traditions, the sociolinguistic map, urbanisation and government.
In the 21st century, urban redevelopment, by the so-called Pla Mirall (English "Mirror Plan"), has attracted important groups of immigrant workers from outside the EU, especially from Africa and South America.
