This villa, was christened Guadalajara because Nuño Beltrán , was born in Guadalajara, Spain . Was barely 16 blocks and lasted just a year and a half.
SECOND GUADALAJARA
The second Guadalajara was based in Tonala more than a settlement, was more of a leaning town , as the town was in conflict between the Court , the Viceroy and neighbors. After having spent too little time, against his will Juan de Oñate moved in 1535 towards the indigenous people of Tlacotán .
THIRD GUADALAJARA
La Villa de Guadalajara Tlacotán remained about seven years. Its people had gardens, vegetables, livestock and farms. To their flea markets the indigenous and settlers of the area came every five days to sell their products.
