history

St. Kaspar Church in Amatepec

Pre-Columbian history

There are archaeological sites that were used as defensive garrisons against the Purepechan Empire. The first inhabitants of the region were the Otomí and the Tenochca.

Spanish colonial times

Evangelization began in 1526 and the first encomendero was Don Juan de Saucedo. Mining began in 1531 by a colony of Spanish miners.

economy and society

The typical staple food is corn , but the cultivation of brew fruits and coffee is also a focus. Remittances from Mexicans to the United States mean that much of the economic benefits are lost.

The production of coffee is organized and sustainable as there are many small producers. There is also a coffee producers' cooperative.

Every year on January 6th there is a traditional fair with food, horse racing, bull riding and ballroom dancing from colonial times to independent Mexico. Some examples of folk music are Huapango, Gusto guerrerense, Ranchera and Corrido .
