The city was founded in 1640, and received its current name in two stages: first in 1642 in honor of Viceroy DonLope Díez de Armendáriz, marqués de Cadereyta, and then in 1904 after thelawyer Ezequiel Montes. From its conception during theSpanish rule of Mexico, the city was intended to become quite important. It received the status ofAlcaldía mayor in 1689, thus becoming the dominant city in this part of the state. It was a post from which the main trade routes were defended from attacks by theindigenous people of theSierra Gorda.
A famousgreenhouse calledFinca Schmoll is in the city, preserving a large collection ofdesert plants open to the public.
History
editApproximately 7,000 years ago, the Cadereyta region was inhabited by various nomad groups who hunted and collected food to sustain themselves [1]. Wooden tools used by hunter-gatherers, including anatlatl, el Atlatl Violeta, were found by the AEQ - Asociación de Espeleólogos de Querétaro, Queretaro Grotto, in theCueva del Tesoro andradiocarbon dated to between 7 and 132 CE.[1]
Some of these indigenous groups were the Chichimecas, Pame, and Jonace. These groups were some of the primary inhabitants until the arrival of the Spaniards, the indigenous groups continuously pushed back and fought against the Spanish. From this conflict arose a wave of peace campaigns, which were undertaken by religious missionaries who came from Tecozautla and Huichapan, and the military [2]. In 1639Viceroy Lope Diez of Armendariz (Marquess of Cadereyta/ Cadreita) fully supported the peace campaigns, which were being led byCaptain Alonso of Tovar Guzman. The captain later named the city of Cadereyta in memory of the Marquess of Cadereyta [2]. Around 1640 the Spaniards established the Villa de Cadereyta [1].
