Before the arrival of the Spanish, groups of natives who were called “conchos” lived on the banks of the Conchos and San Pedro rivers. During the colonial era, the population remained on the trade routes. It was not until 1836 that the Villa de Meoqui was founded. The name "Meoqui" is a Rarámuri word that means "place of work."
