Encyclopedia > Diego de Montemayor

Diego de Montemayor is credited with the founding of Monterrey, which is the capital of the Mexican northeastern state of Nuevo Leon, in September 12 1596.


This founding was the third effort. The two previous ones bore different names. Diego de Montemayor used the name "Monterrey" partly to curry favor from the Viceroy of the time Count of Monterrey.
