history
In 1848 the urban area was first settled by Juan Álvarez with the construction of a hacienda . In 1854 the village was founded by various families. In 1911, Julián Blanco (1857–1915) bought the land together with his children Teodoro, Bonifacio, Florentino and Marciano.
On May 27, 1912, Colonel Martín Vicario settled in Tierra Colorada in the course of the Mexican Revolution to prevent the rebels from advancing and to support the Dos Caminos garrison . An attack by rebel general Martín Vicario on August 3, 1913 caused great losses and led to the confiscation of weapons and ammunition.
By decree number 11 of May 18, 1923 by Governor Rodolfo Neri , Tierra Colorada became part of the then municipality of Chilpancingo .
On the morning of March 26, 2013, hundreds of armed men (the reports range from 600 to 2000) occupied the Tierra Colorada and surrounding areas. They arrested the police chief Oscar Ulises Valles , eleven police officers and six civilians, whom they accused of membership in organized crime. The armed members of a vigilante group ( policías comunitarios ) reacted to the killing of one of their commanders the day before. They held the region for almost 24 hours under their control and gave the people set after negotiations with regional mayors and the prosecutor of the State of Guerrero , Martha Elva Garzón , the authorities. Then they left.
