It was a post from which the main trade routes were defended from attacks by the indigenous people of the Sierra Gorda.
History
Approximately 7,000 years ago, the Cadereyta region was inhabited by various nomad groups who hunted and collected food to sustain themselves [1]. Wooden tools used by hunter-gatherers, including an atlatl, el Atlatl Violeta, were found by the AEQ - Asociación de Espeleólogos de Querétaro, Queretaro Grotto, in the Cueva del Tesoro and radiocarbon dated to between 7 and 132 CE.[1]
Some of these indigenous groups were the Chichimecas, Pame, and Jonace. These groups were some of the primary inhabitants until the arrival of the Spaniards, the indigenous groups continuously pushed back and fought against the Spanish. From this conflict arose a wave of peace campaigns, which were undertaken by religious missionaries who came from Tecozautla and Huichapan, and the military [2]. In 1639 Viceroy Lope Diez of Armendariz (Marquess of Cadereyta/ Cadreita) fully supported the peace campaigns, which were being led by Captain Alonso of Tovar Guzman. The captain later named the city of Cadereyta in memory of the Marquess of Cadereyta [2]. Around 1640 the Spaniards established the Villa de Cadereyta [1].
Today Cadereyta is considered one of the pueblos magicos, or magical cities, due to its colonial architecture seen in its churches, extensive culture, and various historical monuments.
