History
Las Illas became a commune in 1790. Las Illas was only linked to the electricity network on 26 July 1955. The commune had repeatedly asked to have electricity since 1923. On 20 June 1972, Las Illas was linked with Maureillas and Riunoguès to create the new commune of Maureillas-las-Illas.Jean-Pierre Pélissier, Paroisses et communes de France : dictionnaire d'histoire administrative et démographique, vol. 66 : Pyrénées-Orientales, Paris, CNRS, 1986, 378 p.
