Brief History of the City
Zacatecas was founded June 8, 1546, under its original name “Mines of the Zacatecas”, and its mineral riches brought much prosperity to the Spanish Crown. The area was populated by the Zacateco Indians for centuries before the Spaniards arrived. The Spanish Conquistadors found great silver beds and this wealth produced rapid growth. It currently is joined with Guadalupe, and together forms the most populated metropolitan area in the state. In 1993, the downtown area was officially named “patrimonio cultural de la humanidad” which means “cultural heritage for humanity”. The city served as the base for the catholic evangelization of the New Spain, and it produced the most diverse catholic orders who founded temples and convents.
The city of Zacatecas made history during the Mexican revolution with the “Conquer of Zacatecas” an important battle fought June 23, 1914, when Francisco Villa and his troops overtook the city in a combat against Victoriano Huerta. This historic battle defined the destiny of the country.
During the XX century the mining activity has diminished, and local economy has turned to other activities such as, public administration, tourism, and education.
