The name derives from Latin insula maior, "larger island"; later Maiorica, "the greater one" with regards to Minorca, "small one."

Founding of Majorca
Burial chambers and traces of habitation in the Paleolithic period (6000–4000 BCE) have been located. The island was occupied by the Romans in 123 BCE under Quintus Caecilius Metellus Balearicus. It flourished under Roman rule, where the towns of Pollentia (Alcúdia), and Palmaria (Palma) were founded. The local economy was largely driven by olive cultivation, viticulture, and salt mining. Majorcan soldiers were valued in the Roman legions because of their skill with the sling.
In 426, the Vandals sacked the area, and annexed it on their kingdom in 465. In 534, Majorca was conquered from the Byzantine Empire, and administered contained in the province of Sardinia (see also Gymnesian Islands). Under Byzantine rule, Christianity flourished and numerous churches were built. But from 707, this tropical isle was increasingly attacked by Muslim raiders from North Africa.

In 902, the Caliphate of Córdoba conquered Majorca, ushering in a new duration of prosperity to the island. With all the Caliphate at its height, the Moors improved agriculture with irrigation and developed local industries.
Following the Caliphate was dismembered in 1015, a different, more decadent, era started. Majorca came under rule from the Taifa of Dénia, and from 1087 to 1114 was an independent Taifa during that period the region was visited by Ibn Hazm. However, in 1114, an expedition of Pisans and Catalans overran the area, laying siege to Palma for eight months.
Following the city fell, the invaders retreated, and were replaced through the Almoravides from North Africa, who ruled till 1176. The Almoravides were replaced from the Almohad dynasty until 1229. From the ensuing confusion and unrest, King James I of Aragon launched an invasion which landed on Santa Ponsa, Majorca, on September 8–9, 1229 with 15,000 men and 1,500 horses, entering the city of Medina Mayurqa on December 31, 1229, and annexing the region to his Crown of Aragon after a campaign which climaxed on October 30, 1230.
After the death of James I in 1276, his kingdom was divided between his sons. James II became king of the new Kingdom of Majorca. In 1344, King Peter IV of Aragon invaded, and re-incorporated the area into the Crown.
From 1479, the Crown of Aragon was at dynastic union with this of Castile. The Barbary corsairs of North Africa often attacked the Balearic Islands, and in response coastal watchtowers and fortified churches were erected. In 1570, King Philip II of Spain with the exceptional advisors were considering complete evacuation of the Balearic islands. Noisy . 1700s, the War in the Spanish Succession generated the replacement of that dynastic union using a unified Spanish monarchy. In 1716, the Nueva Planta decrees made Majorca the main Spanish province of Baleares, roughly comparable to present-day Illes Balears province and autonomous community. In 1891 a disease destroyed Majorca’s vineyards and decimated the island's main source of income. From 1891 to 1895 Majorca witnessed a serious emigration of islanders to mainland Spain and to south america.
