Although Les Gunyoles administratively depended of La Secuita, ecclesiastically belonged to Els Garidells, which involved special dealings for the village due to its bond with the lordship of Santes Creus.

This village was added to the municipality of La Secuita around the 19th century. It was formed by L'Argilaga and Montbui. The origin of L'Argilaga dates from the 12th century. In the 15th century the place belonged to Lluis de Montbui. From 1428, owing to some disputes with Joana de Queralt, feudal lord of El Catllar, a new independent village, called L'Argilaga was instituted and the former village was known as Montbui or L'Argilaga de Montbui.
