The municipality was originally founded as Chora in 1639 and was renamed in 1658 in honor of Captain Diego Romo de Vivar. This change in name marked an important shift in the area's local identity.

The town holds January celebrations for Señor de las Angustias with traditional dances and religious ceremonies at the downtown church. These gatherings reflect how local people mark important occasions through shared practices rooted in their heritage.
