toponymy.
The Fr. Urzua Roberto Orozco, in his study "The people of the Valley Tecomán" argues, based on records of the books of the parish of "Saint James", the name "Armory" derives from "Almería", namesake of a English province of Islamic origin, located on the western shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Which means that the "Estancia de Almería", was built by an Iberian origin Almeria.
In this vein, the word "Almería" disintegrates from Arabic al-Andalus "almariyya" speech which consists of the words "to" expressing "place" and "Mariyya" term, which in turn is formed "Mara'a" which sets out the verb "observe" or "monitor" which means that the "Almeria" Hispano-Islamic means "place where it is observed or monitored."
Evolution.
Without knowing the exact date of its foundation, our people, with the category of "Stay" appears on official documents until the late eighteenth century with the name "Almería". His first settlement was located on the west bank of the river Nahualapa (Rio Grande). Because of a growing, in 1875, "Finance Armory" moved west a league ranking by the current ejido Street, opposite what was the "Railway Station."
History teaches us that in this basin, in pre-Hispanic times were detained Otomíes coming from the central table, and other tribes from the south. Here, also prospered Nahuatlacas small regions of influence, as Tequepa, Coatlan and Coyutla, among others. Clear testimony of this, is the large number of tombs of pre-Conquest pottery extracted from its soil.
The land went from the "natives" to the "conquerors" and "entrusted" to the "Jesuit." To 1793, "Finance Armory" was bought at auction, the Conde de Regla Don Pedro Romero de Terreros and 1873 belonging to his great-grandson of Don Manuel Pedreguera, and its last owner Doña Isaura Vidriales.
For the construction of the narrow-gauge railroad in the nineteenth century, joined the city of Manzanillo in Colima, here, set up camp railroad, which originally housed the workers who were laying ties and rails and then, for the placement of the piles, which was the first railway bridge. The inaugural locomotive that made the test track, as the official slogan Official "The State of Colima, the settlement reached Armory in December 1882 and September 1889 to make his first trip to the city of Colima.
parallel to this important means of communication that served as liaison with the rest of the country, was the "land distribution" which marked the beginning of the progress of the coastal plain. Also, how well what our elders tell "... when the ocean went, the ranch grew ...", and certainly after powerful quake, on 22 June 1932, presented a" tsunami that devastated the resort Cuyutlán. Consequences, the survivors took refuge in the "Armory ranch, staying here, many of them, definitely file.
