Mejicanos

In 1524, the Spanish conquered and colonized the territory of Cuscatlán, now El Salvador.

Indigenous allies and aborigines from the valley of Anahuac arrived with the Spanish.

The city’s first name was 'Villa of Mejicanos'.

On 7 February 1823, General Vicente Filísola battled against the Salvadoran Republic Army.

The City of Mejicanos stood out for its trade of goods in the streets among farmers.
