Plaza Principal de San Pedro
When one hears that the San Pedro agricultural colony, founded in 1870, was known for being the core of development in the Laguna Region up until the end of the nineteenth century, they probably will not believe it.
However, after learning about the cotton boom that this region experienced, reviewing its history, and having the pleasure of walking around its streets, haughtily adorned by its architecture, we find the reasons for such sayings.
This place, which was constituted as a town in 1873, was home to Francisco I. Madero and where he wrote the “The Presidential Succession of 1910.” It was also the setting for the memorable battle of April 12th, where Francisco Villa defeated the federal forces of General Huerta.
