\u00abA finales del siglo XIX, Madrid comenz\u00f3 a expandir sus alrededores mediante la construcci\u00f3n de n\u00facleos urbanos. Muchos fueron situados en tierras que pertenec\u00edan a la jurisdicci\u00f3n de Vic\u00e1lvaro\u2026\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

La evoluci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica<\/h2>\n

El siglo XX supone un periodo de importante crecimiento demogr\u00e1fico de nuestro pueblo. Otro dato muy importante fue el impacto de la construcci\u00f3n de la f\u00e1brica Valderrivas, en 1923, dedicada a la producci\u00f3n de cementos \u00abPortland\u00bb. Gracias a esta empresa, muchos vecinos consiguieron un empleo estable y mejor pagado, adem\u00e1s de servicios como educaci\u00f3n y vivienda gratuita.<\/p>\n

La industrializaci\u00f3n deriva en un auge de empresas constructoras durante los a\u00f1os sesenta. Sin embargo, esta \u00abinflexi\u00f3n\u00bb acaba generando un desequilibrio entre el n\u00famero de viviendas y el de personas empleadas, convirtiendo a Vic\u00e1lvaro progresivamente en un barrio dormitorio de la periferia. Con la llegada de la crisis, el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico permaneci\u00f3 estancado, forzando el cierre de muchos negocios locales.<\/p>\n

La Guerra Civil<\/h2>\n

Vic\u00e1lvaro tambi\u00e9n fue escenario de visitas de pol\u00edticos y sede de partidos como la C.N.T o el Partido Socialista. D\u00edas antes del levantamiento, el cuartel de Vic\u00e1lvaro tuvo que prepararse. Gran parte de los vecinos, al estar en contra del levantamiento militar, se armaron para oponerse.<\/p>\n

El cuartel sufri\u00f3 varios ataques de bombardeos a\u00e9reos y algunos de sus coroneles fueron fusilados. Las posturas pol\u00edticas se radicalizaron hasta el punto de que la iglesia del pueblo termin\u00f3 siendo saqueada y quemada, desapareciendo gran parte de los archivos parroquiales y objetos importantes como el retablo de la virgen. El convento de la hermandad de la Vera Cruz traslad\u00f3 a sus monjas a otros conventos, y el edificio pas\u00f3 a ser un hospital de sangre. Vic\u00e1lvaro tambi\u00e9n supuso lugar de acantonamiento de una de las Brigadas Internacionales.<\/p>\n

El periodo de posguerra<\/h2>\n

Fue en 1939 cuando la guerra y el asedio a Madrid terminan, dando comienzo a una etapa de reconstrucci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica, represi\u00f3n pol\u00edtica y recorte de libertades. La vida de los vecinos sigui\u00f3 sumergida en escasez y hambre; muchos tuvieron que optar por el estraperlo.<\/p>\n

De pueblo a barrio<\/h2>\n

Otro de los sucesos m\u00e1s relevantes fue el paso de ser un pueblo con Ayuntamiento propio a formar parte de Madrid. Vic\u00e1lvaro dej\u00f3 de pertenecer al partido judicial de Alcal\u00e1 de Henares para formar parte del distrito de Vallecas en 1951 y, veinte a\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde, en 1971, del distrito de Moratalaz. No fue hasta la reestructuraci\u00f3n de 1987 cuando finalmente se convierte en distrito independiente.<\/p>\n

En 1998 el barrio inaugura su propia estaci\u00f3n de Metro; ese mismo a\u00f1o se inaugur\u00f3 el campus de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos y se derrib\u00f3 la f\u00e1brica de cementos Portland Valderrivas, para construir el nuevo barrio de \u00abValderrivas\u00bb.<\/p>\n

El ocio en Vic\u00e1lvaro<\/h2>\n

Durante los a\u00f1os 70 y 80, el barrio contaba con numerosas salas emblem\u00e1ticas como Para\u00edso, Yedra, Tusset, Barrab\u00e1s, Don Gonzalo, Sitel y Tuc\u00e1n, siendo incluso escenario de artistas famosos. Tambi\u00e9n contaba con bares y garitos como La Mercer\u00eda, Casa Babilonia, El Pato Bolinga, La Vieja Estaci\u00f3n, El Larga Vida o El Sausalito (que todav\u00eda se mantiene). En su d\u00eda, Vic\u00e1lvaro lleg\u00f3 a ser uno de los barrios con m\u00e1s bares por habitante de todo Madrid.<\/p>\n
