Teocaltiche

Teocaltiche extends across the northeastern highlands of Jalisco state, featuring agricultural lands where farmers cultivate corn, beans, oats, and maintain livestock operations.

Spanish conquistadors Cristóbal de Oñate and Manuel de Ibarra established control of this territory in March 1530, leading to the construction of the Hospital de los Indios in 1546.

Local artisans maintain traditional craftsmanship through the production of woven serapes and chess sets, contributing to the preservation of regional manufacturing methods.

The municipality manages public transportation systems that serve 41 percent of workers and 71 percent of students traveling to their destinations within an average of 21 minutes.

Residents of Teocaltiche carry the demonym Chapulines, referencing the grasshopper which has become a recognized symbol throughout the region.
