During pre-hispanic times, the region carried the name Chicunahutenco, meaning the edge of the nine waters. Being located on the road to Guadalajara, travelers during colonial times had to cross a ferry at this site, in order to cross the Lerma River. In order to accommodate travelers, the establishment of a settlement was thus decreed by the Spanish authorities.
