History
The population of Toén went through significant changes during the 20th century. At the beginning, in 1900, Toén had 3,881 inhabitants, with its maximum level of population in 1950 (4369 people). The main reason for the rise in population is because it is located near the provincial capital, Ourense. This slowed emigration, as happened in other Galician municipalities. Nevertheless, this was not enough to stop its decreasing population from 1950 to the present.
