The idea of founding the institution originated with Dr. Víctor Manuel Ceja Valencia and other alumni of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), who saw the need for a local university when high school graduates had to move to the state capital (Morelia) or as far as Mexico City and Guadalajara to obtain a college education.

History

In the 1930s, during the administration of Governor Bartolomé Vargas Lugo from Hidalgo State, it was agreed to build a building in art deco style to the south of the Abasolo Building, of the Autonomous Scientific and Literary Institute (today UAEH), to house the Polytechnic. The building was inaugurated on March 18, 1938, housing the School that was also called the Polytechnic Institute of Hidalgo.^[2]
