When was LA Tomatina first celebrated?

La Tomatina is one of the events in Spain that people look forward to. It has been featured countless times on television and a lot of people are very happy with it. People are naturally curious about its history and what it stands for but it seems that there are not enough details that can show how it actually began. Some say that this started in Bunol around 1944 or 1945.

The city council were discussing something in front of a huge crowd and the rest of the townspeople were not happy with what they were hearing. They decided to throw tomatoes on the members of the city council and this already became a tradition since then. This only lasts for one hour but the memories that people can get from this are priceless.
