Hidalgo is an inland central plateau state of Mexico. It was part of the state of Mexico until 1869, when it was made a separate
state and named in honor of Miquel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest and one of the heroes of the Mexican Independence
movement. The capital and largest city in the state is Pachuca, also, one of the primary mining centers in Mexico. The first
mines were found in the colonial period (1534), where silver was mined in great quantities and carried to Spain. Hidalgo played
a principal role in the pre-Hispanic history of the region.
