In the epoch of Independence the Priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla arrived in this land, leaving an indelible mark on this town inside the Freedom Route after having been defeated in the Puente de Calderón, on January 19, 1811.

He took refuge in the arms of this cozy social niche for five days and then leaves for the Pabellón de Hidalgo Hacienda where he is removed from command as leader of the Insurgent movement.

In the life of the town an event happened that changed the way of thinking of the inhabitants and that undoubtedly increased the religious devotion in Christianity: the arrival of the Original Lord, the image most loved and adored by those faithful dwellers.

Strong attacks of generals against religious happened in the mountains and in the streets of San José, all this for the struggle of a fair distribution of their lands.

Within this same year, the government of President Plutarco Elías Calles decided to build the first hydraulic work in the country, using communal and ejidal land.

But the channel of the Presa would be so great that the small town where the tower of the temple was distinguished in the distance, would be devastated by the levels, reaching an absolute disappearance.
