6. History
First traces
When the Spaniards arrived, the territory or kingdom of Colliman was inhabited by the indigenous group of the Tecos, whose headquarters were the town of Caxitlán, in the Tecomán valley; they were the strongest group in the region in which the hueytlatoani Colimotl (dominant chief) lived. It was precisely in Caxitlán where the conquerors had their first settlement, of which a record remains in the Royal Certificate dated June 26, 1530, through which the Queen of Spain granted arms to Jerónimo López and which to the letter says: " The Spaniards had a great battle encounter with the natives who were withdrawn and strengthened in the said population of Tucumán (Tecomán), in which said term a Spanish village was founded, in which you resided ”.
The original village was located in a place located five kilometers north of the current Tecomán railway station, where one of the few vestiges of what was Caxitlán remains, the centenary bare walls of the Caxitlán mesón. The Tecomán Valley has historically been considered the most important region of the Kingdom of Colima.
Conquest
After the taking of Tenochtitlan by the Spanish and having subordinated the Purépechas, the emissary of Hernán Cortés, Francisco Montaño, who had ventured to Tzintzuntzan, collected a report from the Michoacanos who said that the west of the Caltzontzin empire was a place dominated by the King of Colima. Hernán Cortés, thought of conquering Colima, but Juan Rodríguez de Villafuerte precipitated his plans by disobeying his orders and being the first to explore the area, upon arrival in Trojes he was defeated in an ambush by King Colimán. Shortly after, he decided to entrust the company to Juan Álvarez Chico. He set out with a small army on the road to Toluca, towards the Michoacan coast.
When crossing with theirs, a gorge in Colima the Colima people attacked by surprise, dying in the battle Juan Álvarez Chico along with other Spaniards who were defeated in the battle. After this defeat the punitive expedition was entrusted to Cristóbal de Olid who in 1522 was sent to conquer Michoacán, a province that he conquered in the name of Hernán Cortés, and since he was on the road, he was sent to assist Juan Álvarez Chico in the Colima province, where he was also defeated by King Colimán at Paso de Alima and / or Palenque de Tecomán. Cortés entrusts the next expedition to Gonzalo de Sandoval, who defeats the Colima in Colima, where King Colimán surrendered.
Ancient towns
Caxitlán 1523-1862: Place where the primitive Villa de Colima and the first town hall of western New Spain were founded by the conqueror Gonzalo de Sandoval, on July 25, 1523, located in the Tecomán Valley. When the Spaniards arrived, the area was inhabited by the ethnic group called Tecos, whose headquarters were in the town of Caxitlán, in a place located five kilometers north of the current Tecomán railway station. The Tecomán Valley has historically been considered the most important region of the Kingdom of Colima.
The decline of the town of Caxitlan, the careless pastoral administrations, the change of diocesan affiliation, the transfer of the parish see, the decrease in the assets of the brotherhood, ...., are factors that combine in the extinction of the town. In about ten years the cult of "the Virgen de la Candelaria de Caxitlan seems on the verge of extinction."
At the end of February 1810, Fr. Rasura wrote: "The Yglesia de Cagitlan has been burned for nine years when it was a priest ..." Inaccurate date but which, according to the usual way of counting then, indicates a date before February 1801.
At the beginning of October 1800, the indigenous people of Santiago Tecomán were legally already curate en encomienda and, a few days later, the fire of the until then legally "parochial" temple of Caxitlan must have occurred.
The fire in Caxitlan destroyed the temple and a large number of houses, so the emigration to Valenzuela increased, becoming in the middle of the 19th century, this last population, the most important in the Valley.
Valenzuela 1778-1885: It was an important town of 342 inhabitants, most of the settlers of European origin, it was located 6 km north of Tecomán and it was reached by a road that was the extension of Calle Real, which is the current Avenida Independencia. It was considered the most representative nucleus of the miscegenation of the Tecomán valley at that time. They built a church, built a wide square and prepared a pantheon, which came to be widely used, as 120 people were buried there during a measles epidemic in 1826.
After the fire and destruction of Caxitlán, in 1800, Valenzuela appeared in the statistics of the Santiago de Tecomán Parish Archives, gaining a higher profile in all orders, as the short years of its existence passed.
There is evidence that in the middle of the last century it reached greater economic and demographic importance than Tecomán. Unlike Tecomán, which until the end of the last century was populated by a majority of Indians, in Valenzuela the creoles and mestizos dominated. Its fertile lands came to give it an opulence that Tecomán did not enjoy at the same time, until finally around 1885, it depopulated and disappeared.
This town was like a meteor that fleetingly crossed the historical sky of Tecomán with blinding light and disappeared. It has not been possible to unravel the mystery that represented his birth and disappearance in the utter valley.
Suburb
After consummating the conquest of Mexico (1520), on July 25, 1523, the day of the feast of the Apostle Santiago, the Spanish conqueror Gonzalo de Sandoval founded in Caxitlán (Municipality of Tecomán) the primitive Villa de Colima and the first Town Hall in western New Spain.
Same year that Tecomán was founded (two leagues from Caxitlán). The main factor was the convenience of the Spaniards to be able to control the natives, forcing them to concentrate and found a town, which they called "Santiago de Tecomán". The name of Santiago was taken from the apostle that they venerated as patron of the hospital that dates from approximately 1550. Tecomán was born as an autochthonous town and it continued to be so and retaining the name of Santiago de Tecomán until the end of the last century.
The independence
In 1812 Captains Pedro and Manuel Regalado, at the head of their guerrillas, took the towns of Tecomán and Caxitlán, having attacked the important salt production center of El Real de San Pantaleón.
On December 29, 1826, Father Alcaraz, in the company of the mayors of Caxitlán, recognized, counted and branded the assets belonging to the Brotherhood.
By 1834, the interim priest of Santiago Tecomán, Celso García de Alba, finished raising and signing a census of the entire Tecomense parish jurisdiction, which showed a total of 2,115 inhabitants.
