The Universidad Autónoma Chapingo (UACh) is a state university in the small Mexican town of Texcoco .
history
The earliest roots go back to the "Escuela Nacional de Agricultura" (ENA) founded in Mexico City after 1854 . The ENA, a militarized school, was relocated to today's Texcoco location in 1923, on the premises of the former Hacienda de Chapingo . In 1969 the school was demilitarized and in 1974 it was given the status of a university and renamed it to its current name.
