The name of Bañaderos is one of the first place names mentioned in the so-called Chronicles of the Conquest of Gran Canaria (1478-1483). Its original name, “Los Vañaderos”, comes from the fact that it was used for bathing by pre-Hispanic islanders, largely noble women.

When land was initially distributed after the Conquest, several settlers founded the town of Bañaderos and before 1528, the new inhabitants were already working the land. According to chronicler Pedro Marcelino Quintana, in 1878, the locals completed the construction of a chapel dedicated to St. Peter the Apostle, which became a parish in 1891. It contains an outstanding image of St. Peter the Apostle, brought from the town of Arucas to the chapel in 1878. At the end of the 19th century, a square was built outside the chapel, with a brickwork perimeter consisting of artistic pillars, crowned by elegant urns carrying the initials of the people by whom they were donated.

The first houses in Bañaderos were built in the vicinity of the Church and what is now Calle San Pedro. This is the site of the most important buildings, such as Casa Rosales, built in 1898, and others in Avenida Lairaga, such as Casa Aguiar, Casa de los Segura and Casa de Juan Falcón, dating from the late 19th and early 20th century. All these buildings are characterised by excellent stone decorative motifs in pure neo-classic style.
