History
The city that became San Pedro Garza García was founded in 1596 by Diego de Montemayor as the Hacienda de San Pedro de los Nogales. The land was granted by de Montemayor to his son, "El Mozo" de Montemayor, along with other settlers, as an agricultural settlement. The area remained a sedate agricultural settlement until the late 1800s, when it was elevated to villa status, and named Garza García in honor of Genaro Garza García, then-governor of Nuevo León.
The village remained a small, agricultural community until the 1940s, when Alberto Santos González began the first urbanization efforts. He purchased and began to build Colonia del Valle, the first residential subdivision in Nuevo León. The town's population quickly grew, going from 5,338 inhabitants in 1950 to 14,943 in 1960 and 45,983 by 1970 as the city grew.
