Villa de Ramos
History[edit]
The foundation of Villa de Ramos is attributed to Fr. Jeronimo de Pangua. A rich mine was discovered around this place in the year 1608 and the population settled until 1610. In 1612, a church was built but later destroyed due to the discovery of a rich mine. A few years later, silver and other minerals extracted from this place were exhausting and exploration projects were halted. Gradually, the population declined bringing poverty increased. In 1640, a few people lived on this place. These people, who remained on this place, suffered a terrible invasion by barbarian indians, who came from the north, mounted on horses.
During 1794, a few mines were being exploted on that place, the biggest was Don Juan de Dious Galindo's San Vicente. Days later, a fabulouse discovery was made, one inhabitant of the place was digging on his kitchen, he gathered a certain amount of grains of native silver.
During Mexico's War of Indepence, Villa de Ramos was again declining in terms of population. El Real de Ramos, as it was called at that time, lay on ruins and vandalism was very common, especially in the western part now bordering the state of Zacatecas.
In 1815, realist commanders Manuel Tover and Rafael Chavez along with Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi, commanded by Cura Capitan Jose, persecuited insurgernt Victor Rosales. On this persecution 3 realist leaders arrived to El Barril, northeast of Villa de Ramos, were deceived by insurgent Rosales.
During the Revolution, a few military actions were registered on haciendas from the region. An intesting fact for numismatists is that irregular coins were emitted in the municipality in the XIX century. They were used mainly for trading in the place.
