Angangueo

Angangueo is a population of the kingdom of Michoacan inside the Mexican Republic. Upon the advent of Nuno de Guzman in 1550, the town of Angangueo was no man's land and nobody got here to suspect the riches that those hills blanketed with bushes enclosed. It become the Viceroy Don Antonio de Mendoza who granted Gonzalo de Salazar the lands, a actual aspect that was encomendero of the area among Zitacuaro and Taximaroa and become given in Mexico on September 16, 1550. The vicinity became the mining enclave, despite the fact that Angangueo did now not stand out until 1792, when the avalanche of humans came to work inside the mines and the merchants who needed to congregate across the current and rich metropolis.

Their mines in the colony had been exploited with the aid of the Spaniards who have been observed by means of the Germans and Englishmen and ultimately through the French and North Americans within the remaining century. The American Smelting and Refining Company become maintained till 1953, when, following a disaster at the Dolores mine on April 25, where 25 miners died, the mines have become a part of the country wide historical past.
