History
The area was first inhabited by settlers from Tlaxcala in 1580, who named it San Isidro de las Palomas.
On 29 December 1866 it was renamed in honour of General José María Arteaga Magallanes, a 19th-century national hero and governor of the state of Querétaro de Arteaga.
It includes the congregation of Landeros, which was named after an American soldier of Irish descent, who after the army's march through the area in the 1840s, settled there.
