Juan de Ugalde (December 9, 1729 – 1816), later referred to erroneously asJuan de Uvalde by American settlers, was the Governor ofCoahuila, now inMexico. He was also a commanding general ofTexas,Coahuila,Nuevo León, andNuevo Santander. He led several military campaigns against Apache tribes in Texas.
Ugalde was born inCádiz,Spain. In 1787, he was promoted to commanding general ofTexas, Coahuila,Nuevo León, andNuevo Santander. In 1790, he successfully led Spanish soldiers against Apache forces at Arroyo de la Soledad, which was renamed in his honor as Cañon de Ugalde. In the mid-19th century, American settlers altered it toUvalde, which is now the name of the city there. After the Spanish government ordered him back to Spain, Ugalde continued in the service and was promoted tofield marshal in 1797. In 1810, he was promoted tolieutenant general.
