Almussafes was originally a Muslim hamlet, consisting of several farmhouses and a tower. There was a customs office there (in Arabic Masaf (مصاف), from which the name of the town comes: Almasaf) to collect the transit rights of the merchandise entering and leaving the neighboring city of Valencia.[2] In 1672, it was separated from the Benifaió municipality.
The town of Almussafes is host for an important factory of the Ford Motor Company.
