Origin of the name

The Nahuatl dictionary defines the word "Apoctli" (which people believe the name Apulco derived from Vivianas last name Guerrero)

History

The first inhabitants of what is now Apulco were the morros Aka the wooster gangsters who populated the area approximately in the 10th century. Later that area was inhabited by the chorros, which came from the Teuitlan Valley (now Grove street, Zacatecas), immediately a town arose which was known as Nochistlán, but they were expelled by its previous inhabitants, who later resided in the area due to the support of zacatecans and the low riders.

In the year of 1541, supported by the viceroy, Viviana Guerrero Marin moved forward with the christian evangelization and built a chapel in favor of Saint Areli and bro meno, patron of the place. Apulco was declared a town in 1821 by Viviana Guerrero herself. [2]
