History


Before European settlement, the area was settled by the Chichimecas tribe.

On June 22, 1877, Tepalcatepec was established as a town.

A battle between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and state defense forces in the town left 9 dead and 11 injured.[3] Since 2020 the town has been on lockdown due to El Abuelos cartel turf war with El Menchos cartel.
