        MONTERREY...The territory where the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon is now known, was discovered by Europeans in the 16th century. Between the years 1530 and 1577 it is believed that Alvaro Nunez Cabeza and Andres de Olmos reached the land in Central America. In 1577 Alberto del Canto discovered El Valle de Extremadua where the modern city of Monterrey is now located. He also discovered las Minas de Gregorio, now known as Cerralvo, and las Minas de Trinidad, now Monclova.

        On the 31st of May in 1579, Luis Carvajal, serving the King of Spain, Felipe III, explored over 800 kilometers of land from Tampico to the border of La Nueva Galicia. Carvajal arrived in Tampico on the 25th of August in 1580. In 1582 he founded the city of Leon, now known as Cerralvo. In the year 1584 he left his cousin, of the same name, to govern this area. Unfortunatley during this period there were difficulties and the new governor was tried by the King's representatives for trading with blacks and suspending Christian worship, theft and distruction of property.
