Ullíbarri-Gamboa (Spanish: [uˈʎiβari ɣamˈboa], Basque: Uribarri Ganboa Basque pronunciation: [uɾiβari ɣamboa]) [2] is a hamlet and concejo located in the municipality of Arratzua-Ubarrundia, in Álava province, Basque Country, Spain.
The hamlet gives its name to the Ullíbarri-Gamboa Reservoir, the largest in the Basque Country, [3] The construction of the dam, between 1947 and 1956, flooded part of the village as well as most of its farmland, forcing many residents to move to nearby Vitoria-Gasteiz. [4]
The word Ullíbarri literally means "new town" in Basque, from uri (an archaic form of hiri, meaning "city") and barri (a dialectal form of berri, meaning "new"). [2] Gamboa is the name of the valley which was flooded by the reservoir, as well as a former municipality in the area (Ullíbarri-Gamboa was not part of the municipality). [5]
