Lagos de moreno

Population: 92716 people.

Area: 2648 km².

Lagos de Moreno is a city and its surrounding municipality of the same name located in the extreme northeastern part of the state of Jalisco in Mexico. Lagos de Moreno is called by Mexicans, with some hyperbole, the "Athens of Jalisco" because of the numerous writers and poets who were born there. Important industries include food processing, including milk and dairy products, vegetable oils, and meats, manufacture of footwear and agricultural machinery. The city was founded on March-31st., 1563 by Captain General and Grand Major of the Teocaltiche Valley, Hernando de Martell a.k.a. Hernán Gallegos, and named Villa de Santa Maria de los Lagos. Gallegos founded the village in the Spanish style in the remains of Chichimecas and Caxcans cultures with 63 Sephardie families that went from Spain after King Ferdinand proclaimed the Alhambra Decree (March 31, 1492) (History of the Jews in Spain) which ordered every Jew in Iberia to convert to the Catholic religion or be expelled from the country. Some of the Spanish Jews or Sephardies went to America and founded towns or cities in the New World. It was renamed as Lagos de Moreno in memory of insurgent General Pedro Moreno (1775-1817), who led the struggle for independence from Spain.
