This neighborhood was choosen because of its history: it emerged in the era of Mesoamerica; in the colonial one it acquired the characteristics to distinguish it today: a strong religious fervor to the Virgin of the Rosary; in the nineteenth century, as a municipality, the charge system evolves, and in the twentieth century amends again when it loses its municipality.
