History
Before the 1920s, the city was a town called "San Antonio de los Arenales", that only had a few shops and a railroad station connecting Cusihuiriachi to Chihuahua City. It has been inhabited by the Raramuri and the Mestizos. With the arrival of the Mennonites, the city grew significantly as it became a trading center for the Mennonites. The formidable agricultural, livestock, and commercial activity that characterized Villa Cuauhtémoc around 1947 unleashed a contagious spirit in the municipal administration of Emilio Miramontes Ordóñez. The State Congress was petitioned by the mayor, the City Council, and economic and social representatives to recognize Cuauhtemoc as a city.
