History
In 1529, the Spanish conquerors came to the land under the commands of Francisco Cortés de San Buenaventura, nephew of Hernán Cortés. However, the Franciscan friars founded the village in 1536, noting the trace and built a convent in that year dedicated to San Juan Bautista. Later, an eight-sided cross was built with a based quadrangular. It is currently the oldest colonial monument of Jalisco. According to historical records of local monographs, Tuxpan was founded by the Toltec pilgrimage in the year 1642 of our era.
