The mines he established along with earlier ones in Pachuca and Real del Monte made him the richest man in the world at the time. The town of Huasca became established between the 1760s and 1780s as Pedro Romero de Terreros, the first Count of Regla, developed mining here. By the 17th century, the encomienda was broken up and the lands around the Indian republic became haciendas. In the late 16th century, the area was acknowledged as an “Indian Republic,” meaning that the natives here had a certain amount of autonomy from the Spanish. Small villages such as San Sebastian and San Bartolomé are mentioned in early records but not the municipal seat of Huasca. The area came under the encomienda of the Diego de Paz family, who were centered in Atotonilco el Grande starting in 1558. Historyįirst records of the area extend only as far as the early colonial period. The first and most probable means “place of happiness and abundance.” The second derives from a phrase that means “place of water.” The third comes from a phrase that means “place where they make precious cotton shawls (mantas).” The appendage “de Ocampo” was adopted in honor of Melchor Ocampo, who lived briefly here in the mid 19th century.
The original name for the area was “Huascazaloya.” This come from Nahuatl and has three possible meanings. While agriculture remains important economically, the area has been promoted as a tourism destination, especially for weekend visitors from Mexico City, with attractions such as canyons, traditional houses, old hacienda facilities and waterfalls. By the mid 20th century, none of these haciendas were in existence, having been broken up into communal farm lands ( ejido ) and some even fully or partially under lakes created by dams. While one of the first haciendas to be established in Mexico is located here, economic development started with mining haciendas built by Pedro Romero de Terreros in the 18th century. While the town itself is just within the mountain range, much of the municipal land is located in a valley that opens up to the east of the town. It is located 34 km from Pachuca and 16 km from Real del Monte in the Pachuca Mountains. Now, twenty years after the signing of the Decree of Erection, more than 200 alumni from not less than 55 dioceses of the United States have passed through this beautiful experience of seminary formation.Huasca de Ocampo (Spanish: ) is a town and municipality of the state of Hidalgo in central Mexico. All of them began their philosophy courses with enthusiasm in this fledgling work. On August 1, 2000, while the seminary was still under construction, five seminarians pertaining to the Archdioceses of Los Angeles and Milwaukee arrived. Because of the large number of spiritual communities in this area, it is seen as a small Vatican within Mexico City.Īctivities at the seminary began very quickly. Following the directives of Cardinal Rivera, Fr’s Benítez and Pacheco were to acquire sufficient land for the project, and begin construction of the seminary in the Southern zone of the city named Tlalpan, where there are 25 seminaries and 52 women’s religious communities. Seminario Hispano de Santa Maria de Guadalupe began on August 31st, 1999, with the Decree of Erection signed by Cardinal Norberto Rivera.
