A main avenue in the residential area of the City of Colima bears his name.

Pedro Galván began his military career in 1854 under General Ogazón and was then promoted to brigade General on the Liberal side during the Reform and Intervention wars, in which he lost a leg in battle.

On 13 July of that year, he was declared a Citizen of Colima by government decree.

Upon retiring from the governorship he became Administrator of Maritime Customs in Manzanillo and was later re-elected as Senator in 1882.

Upon the death of General Corona, he was appointed governor of Jalisco in 1889 and was later re-elected for the following term.
