History[edit | edit source]
The modern day state of Hidalgo is located within the pre-Hispanic region of Mesoamerica. Numerous migrations of indigenous people took place through here, mostly arriving or passing through from the north, with many eventually settling in the Valley of Mexico.
The Aztecs arrived in the 12th century, and eventually the Aztecs took over most of what is now the southern portion of the state, incorporating it into the Aztec Empire.
Evangelization efforts followed soon thereafter with the first Franciscans arriving in 1523.
Despite Spanish control and evangelization efforts since the 16th century, by the 18th century, many of indigenous groups of the area had not been fully subjugated. These groups and others manage a significant amount of success in maintaining cultural, political and economic autonomy through the colonial period.
The modern state of Hidalgo was initially part of the very large territory called Mexico, which eventually was split with the remaining portion becoming the modern State of Mexico. The state of Hidalgo was not formally created until the 1860s.
The growth of the Greater Mexico City area reached the southern border of Hidalgo state in the late 20th and early 21st century with the municipality of Tizayuca formally added into the region in 2005.

Indigenous Peoples[edit | edit source]
Languages Because of Hidalgo's rich mines, it has always been the site of immigration from other parts of Mexico and from abroad. Hidalgo is home to two important minority groups: Cornish immigrants who came to work in the mines of Hidalgo in the 1800s, and an enclave of Sephardic Jews who came to the New World in the 1500s and who now live in the community of Venta Prieta. Both groups have managed to preserve their cultural identity and traditions, but not their language; they speak Spanish as their primary--and only--language.
The Native American cultures of Hidalgo, however, managed to preserve their language in spite of subjugation and oppression at the hands of the Spanish conquerors. Indeed, Hidalgo is one of the states of Mexico with the greatest number of speakers of an indigenous language. They include the Nahua, the Otomí, and the Tepehua, all of whom still speak their own language. The largest group is the Otomí, with more than 250,000 speakers in the state of Hidalgo.[1]
