Heriberto Jara Corona

General Heriberto Jara Corona (July 10, 1879 – April 17, 1968) was a Mexican revolutionary and politician.

He got involved in the Mexican Revolution while working at a factory in the municipality of Río Blanco in his native Veracruz.

He was awarded the Stalin Peace Prize in 1950 and, in 1959, he received the Belisario Domínguez Medal of Honor.

General Heriberto Jara International Airport in the port of Veracruz is named after him, as is the Stadium at Xalapa[clarification needed], built in 1925 on the grounds where William K. Boone had organized Olympic-style athletic games in 1922.
