Emiliano Zapata is a municipality in the Mexican state of Veracruz, located 2 km from Jalapa-Enríquez on Mexico highways 180 and 190. It named for the hero of the Mexican Revolution, Emiliano Zapata.
EmilianoZapata was born in Anenecuilco, Morelos, to a landless, but not poor, family which dealt in livestock.
Zapata was born to Gabriel Zapata and Cleofas Salazar in the small central state of Morelos, in the village of Anenecuilco (modern-day Ayala municipality).
With the support of Pancho Villa, Pascual Orozco, EmilianoZapata, and rebellious peones, DÃaz was overthrown by Madero in May of 1911 during the battle at Ciudad Juarez, and a provisional government was formed under Francisco Leon de la Barra.
EmilianoZapata Salazar (August 8, 1879 – April 10, 1919) was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution against the dictatorship of Porfirio DÃaz that broke out in 1910.
Zapata was born to Gabriel Zapata and Cleofas Salazar in the small central state of Morelos, in the village of Anenecuilco (modern-day Ayala municipality).
Zapata's influence, however, is visible today, particularly in revolutionary tendencies in south Mexico.
