The story of the "city of Mallorca" (we called it as formerly) is the same as that of Mallorca until 1229, when King Jaime I the Conqueror had conquered and had installed government in the city of Palma. He had built the University also in 1429. Palma and the islands were under the reign of King James I, James II, Jaime III of Aragon, who gave the land to the noble Catalan colonizing the islands for 114 years. As a result, in 1343 the islands fell under the Kingdom of Aragon. Later, in 1716 King Felipe V had begun to appoint Palma. The Balearic Islands were one of the Spanish provinces until 1983, when it rose to be an Autonomous Community.
