Being one of the world’s oldest cities, Malaga's history dates back to  3,000 years. The Phoenicians originally founded a commercial center, which was named Malaca. It is said that the name might be derived from the word Malac meaning salt. The Greeks and Carthaginians transferred Malaca as a trading area. While in 3C BC the Romans conquered the city. They created a colony and it was federated with Rome only until AD81. Thus, it attained the status of a Roman municipality. It thereafter remained  Flavia Malacita, since then it grew in importance and started exporting oil, raisins, wine, and salted meat.
