The area was inhabited by Otomi people prior to colonization. In the 18th century, the Chichicaspa chapel was built, bringing with it a shrine to Mary Magdalene, Franciscan monks, and evangelization. During the Mexican Revolution, Isidoro Silva and Macario Gutiérrez gathered men and horses for Emiliano Zapata's army from the locality.
In the 1960s, Constantino Gutiérrez discovered a sand and gravel mine in the "Las Campanitas" area of the locality, currently collectively owned by the ejido.
