Some of History

San Jerónimo was the first name by which this oasis was known; it was founded on the banks of the Chuvíscar River, which is joined kilometers before by the flow of the Sacramento River. An attempt was made to settle it since 1671. By 1717 the Franciscans built the Santa Ana Mission to evangelize the Conchos and Chinarras Indians who inhabited the region. The site was also
frequented by groups of Apaches and Comanches. Finally, in 1783 a Villa was established.
