Congress of State in coordination with the Ministry of Education and the H. City Hall Armory.
Armory, April 29, 2010 Col.
very respectable authorities Guests and other audience
Children Youth and Ladies and Gentlemen
Friends All.
the satisfaction that comes with being born in this land, where we learned from our elders, love and serve Mexico, be my first words, to state our testimony of gratitude and, at the same time, congratulate, because our friends, deputies and deputies, members of the LVI Legislature H. State Congress agreed to check today on this campus, this important civic ceremony, in addition, to commemorate the anniversaries of April, too, we gather to celebrate the "75th anniversary" of being upgraded to "village", the then "rancheria" Armory.
Thus, in the framework of the commemorations of the bicentennial and the centennial of the beginning of the two feats that defined the Mexican Nation: Independence and Revolution, here and now, remember that a day like today, deputies of the XXIX Legislature passed the "ranch" Armory, being awarded the category of "people." Indeed, as governor of Don Salvador Saucedo State and Government Secretary General Mr. Salvador G. Govea, Decree No. 44 which entered this event wizard was published in the Official Gazette on 4 May of that year. They were part of the Legislature, local representatives Gaytán Porfirio Nunez, Adolfo Preciado, J. Jesus Valencia, Crispin Rios Ramirez, Bartolo Lopez, J. Jesus Aguilar and Jesus Otero Pablos. For all of them, with gratitude, my words are a badge of honor.
In this situation, let me a brief outline of the origin, place names and evolution of our people. History teaches us that in this basin, were arrested Otomíes coming from the central table for 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. In the conquest, the inhabitants must join the ranks of the brave "Tecos", who fell fighting heroically in "Alima" defending the domain of "Colima."
Without knowing the exact date 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, in what was the plot of Don Estanislao Delgado, ie in the triangle between the municipal slaughterhouse, the railroad bridge and the new highway bridge to Manzanillo . Because of a growing and known as "Rio Grande" in 1875, "Finance Armory" moved west a league placing for the current ejido Street, opposite what was the "Railway Station " the City Armory today.
The name "Armory" derives from "Almería", namesake of a English province of Islamic origin, located on the western shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It is worth mentioning, during colonization, Hispanics were the practice to appoint the people they conquered, with the names of their place of origin. Which means that the "Estancia de Almería", was established by an Iberian origin Almeria. Proof of this statement, are the books of the parish of St. James of Tecoman, that for 1687, recorded 5 burials of residents of the ranch "Almería".
In this vein, the word "Almería" disintegrates from Arabic al-Andalus "almariyya" speech which consists of the words "to" expressing "place" and "Mariyya" a term which in turn form "mara" to "which sets out the verb" observe "or" monitor "which means that the" Almeria "Hispano-Islamic means" place where it is observed or monitored. "
The land went from the Indians to the conquering and "entrusted" to the "Jesuit." For 1793, the "Treasury of Armory" acquired 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.
port to communicate the "Santiago" with the "Villa de Colima" in 1536, construction began on a dirt road, preparing to do so, the archaic path that connected the Indian villages and Caxitlán Coyutla. Subsequently, this branch was part of the "Camino Real de Colima." Defending
republican institutions, the worthy of the Americas Don Benito Juárez García, used this way to get from Colima to Manzanillo finances through the Armory on the evening of April 8, 1858, overnight that night in the resort of Cuyutlán.
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 slogan "Official Journal" came to Armory in December 1882 and September 1889 to make his first trip to the city of Colima.
parallel to this important communication channel that transformed business of our organization and served as liaison with the rest of the country was land distribution that 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 strong earthquakes on 22 June 1932 presented a" tsunami that devastated the resort of Cuyutlán. Consequences, the survivors took refuge in "Armory ranch, staying here, many of them, definitely file. These facts
accounts for population growth this decade. Examine statistics: in 1921 only had a farm with 40 laborers, by 1924 there were 300 inhabitants. However, the population decrease Cristero generated by the revolution in 1935 increased by 1,500.
This unprecedented population growth, led to our authorities, that the then "rancheria" Armory, was elevated to the category of "people." To establish its legal fund, by the aforementioned decree, the property is expropriated to Armory the amount of 42 hectares, 70 areas. To develop draft planning was appointed Mr. Carlos Hernández. Thus, from 1935, went on sale lots of urban land of 15 x 30 meters, in three categories: the first (central) value of $ 90.00, the second to $ 75.00, and third to $ 50.00 ea . For these operations, which were in installments, the State Treasury appointed Receiver of Revenue to Mr. J. Felix Torres Curiel. Friends
all.
In this scenario, our ancestors, most of whom could neither read nor write, but with love for the land, good faith and imagination, were able to sharpen the senses and live full time. Indeed, without more capital, the fertility of the soil, a bag with salt and tortillas and the strength of his arms, worked tirelessly day and night. Some, with his family, supporting others to cultivate the land. The others, in gratitude to their offspring, helping them to reap the first effort of its work.
All, without farming tools, a machete, an ax, a sickle, a pick and shovel, transformed the land, once desolate, malaria and unsafe, in an orchard. This shows us that our fathers and mothers, love and work, there was no challenge to the bully, or circumstance that defeat.
Today, thanks to the persistent and visionary effort, we have plots, perennial crops, surface water, deep wells, tractors, roads removed crops, roads, electricity, schools and infrastructure. In short, we inherited all to continue growing. Dear friends
. Today
are other problems and other circumstances. Indeed, new times we live, that call us all, new commitments. Indeed, in a society increasingly more educated and informed as ours, they are more civic obligations, which means that to live and coexist in a pluralistic community as Armory, only through dialogue, tolerance and respect we can build bridges that allow us to unite wills, as did our parents, by the greatness of Armory.
In this regard, in 1968, when it was founded in the Armory "CNOP Municipal League, to take over as its first Clerk, well, my father said," The Best of Armory is its people. In the Armory, we are a large family, with different ways of thinking, different names, different names and different blood ties, we are all related and who are not relatives, are godchildren, godparents, or are we comrades, in short, all we are family , then then, as in large families, we have no other, if we want progress, invariably, have to agree "
Epilogue: Of all adults, Armory, so require new generations. Therefore, in the face of history of our people, we hear the anguish of our children claim, that claim, we agree.
Friends,
True, the example, with daily events, our parents taught us: "In fertile ground in strong effort, work together and with love, for the greatness Armory.
for your attention and friendship
