History

The first peoples who inhabited the region were the Chichimeca nations, the name given by the Mexicas to a group of native peoples who inhabited the center and north of the country.

The losses suffered by the Spanish conquistadors in the region due to the Chichimecas attacks led them to respond with a war tactic of ethnocide. They brought to the Altos de Jalisco rural Castilian militiamen, some of them of French descent, led in the High Middle Ages to repopulate central Spain. However, there were also Portuguese, Italians and natives of Flanders, who had previously fought against Turks and Moors. These peasant soldiers established themselves with patterns of private property and with a Catholic ideology, mixing with some Chichimecas who had remained.
