As of 2018[update], it has a population of 193,586, making it the region's fourth most populated municipality. The etymology of Fuenlabrada comes from the contraction of Fuente Labrada,[2] Spanish for "carved fountain". The highest point in the municipality (721 metres above sea level) is located in a hill to the northwest of the city proper.[3] The city proper's altitude gently decreases from the Northwest to the Southeast; the lowest areas in the municipality (slightly over 600 metres above sea level) are located in the East, past the A-42 near the border with Getafe.[4]
