The Agricultural Colony of Sierra de Salinas is one of the eighteen that were created in Spain in the early twentieth century after the adoption of the "Law of Colonization and Internal Repopulation" in 1907. In this research, the content of the project is analysed and its feasibility assessed. The assessment is carried out with the current tools offered by the public administration of the Generalitat Valenciana, as said tools are subject to mandatory consultation prior to any territorial action. Potential forest land, steep slopes, elevated stoniness and low fertility were all overcome by the settlers in their attempt to make habitable a territory that previously was not.
