Cosío was founded December 28, 1857.[2]
Before then, the area was part of neighboring municipality Rincon de Romos and belonged to the San Jacinto hacienda, owned by Pío Bermejillo. A tenant of the hacienda, Cornelio Acosta, asked for permission to build in the area and founded Natillas Ranch. Due to its positioning at the northernmost part of Aguascalientes, Natillas was used as a rest stop for those traveling between the state and the bordering state of Zacatecas.[3]
In 2010, the municipality had a total population of 15,042.[8]
As of 2010, the town of Cosío had a population of 4,898.[8] Other than the town of Cosío, the municipality had 85 localities, the largest of which (with 2010 populations in parentheses) were: La Punta (2,416), El Refugio de Providencia (Providencia) (1,377), El Salero (1,229), and Santa María de la Paz (1,026), classified as rural.[8]
By 2020, the population increased to 17,000.[1]
