For those researching Huejucar and Calvillo, a long time ago I took the following note from “Historia del estado de Aguascalientes” by Agustin R. Gonzalez, Mexico 1881 [my translation]. Unfortunately I can’t remember where I read or found the book:

For those researching Huejucar and Calvillo, a long time ago I took the following note from “Historia del estado de Aguascalientes” by Agustin R. Gonzalez, Mexico 1881 [my translation]. Unfortunately I can’t remember where I read or found the book:

Valle de Huejucar (Guaxucar, Huajucar), at or near Calvillo, Aguascalientes, was within the original limits of Xalpa (Jalpa) and became a community center for the surrounding haciendas early in the 18th century. pg 43

And from “Aguascalientes – Guia para visitar la Ciudad y el Estado” by Alexandro Topete del Valle, Ags. Ags, 1973:

“CALVILLO. Se inicio su fundacion como consecuencia del auto proveido el 18 de noviembre de 1771, por el senor Canonigo y Doctor don Manuel Colon de Larreaegui gobernador por ‘sede vacante’ de la Mitra de Guadalajara, que erigio el Curato o parroquia de ‘S. Jose de Huajucar’ (o “Guajucar’) en el Valle del mismo nombre, segregandolo del de Tabasco, Zac., en terrenos que pertenecieron al antiguo rancho o hacienda, cedidos por el prominente vecino don Jose CALVILLO, en cuyo honor tomo su apellido como titulo, a partir de febrero de 1825.” pg 22

Does anyone know which particular don Jose CALVILLO this one was? I’ve never been able to find out. Hope this helps.

Gloria (Calvillo)
