HISTORIA DE JUCHITLAN
Juchitlan was conquered by the Spanish in 1524, in that year the Marquis of the Valley (Don Hernando Cortes) sent his nephew, the Captain D. Francisco Cortes De San Buenaventura to “Colima and Chimalhuacan”. They left the Villa of Colima with 100 selected Spaniards and the missionaries Fr. Juan de Pandilla and Fr. Miguel de Bolonia. The itinerary that Francisco Cortes De San Buenaventura probably took was Autlan-Juchilan-Tenamaxtlan-Tecolotlan and then Ameca.
Don Jesus Amaya in the appendix of his work, “Ameca Protofundacion Mexicana”, under the title “Bioteca de Occidente”, in reference to Juchitlan states: “with the original name being Asuchitlan it was one of the 16 estancias of Tenamaxtlan, the province which in 1525 Francisco Cortes gave as an encomienda to Pedro Gomez and Martin Monje. In 1579 it was a subject of Ixtlahuacan, according to the Report on Tenamaxtlan written by Martin Monje de Leon.”
