Teuchitlán is located near the archeological site of Los Guachimontones, associated with the pre-Columbian Teuchitlán culture.

On 5 March 2025, groups searching for missing persons in Mexico found an extermination site containing 200 pairs of shoes, personal belongings, apparent human bones, and three crematoriums in Rancho Izaguirre, about 4.5 km (2.8 mi) southeast of Teuchitlán.[3] Members of the New Generation Jalisco Cartel allegedly used it as a confinement, training, and extermination center. State authorities had secured the ranch in September 2024.[4][5][6]
