Some of History

Rosales was also indigenous territory in pre-Hispanic times, and in colonial times it was an obligatory passage for commercial conduct. In 1714, the Villa de Santa Cruz de Tapacolmes, today Rosales, was founded. Its fertile soils allow the cultivation of cotton, corn, wheat, beans and chili. It is a peaceful recreational town as it is a place of spas. In 1864, Benito Juárez spent the night in Rosales, on his pilgrimage to El Paso del Norte.
