History of Holguin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The foundation of the city of San Isidoro de Holguin is due to the fact that Don Francisco Garc\u00eda Holguin was awarded as a prize for his actions in the conquest of Mexico a royal grant through which the territories located to the south of the fence, between the rivers he called Fernando and Isabel today Jig\u00fce y Mara\u00f1on, which was the name given by the aborigines, passed to his property. In 1545 Garc\u00eda Holguin, his wife Do\u00f1a Isabel Fern\u00e1ndez de Sandoval and some followers founded the first hamlet, for which they used the natives of the area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historians claim that Garc\u00eda Holguin returned to\u00a0Mexico<\/a>\u00a0where he owned extensive properties and died on these lands. From this first halo, the Managuaco, Los Guazumas (Guasimas), Las Cuevas, Cayo Llano, etc. were formed around him.
