History
In the year 1530 Friar Martín de la Coruña was the first to come into contact with the natives of the lands that now make up the present day Coeneo. He quickly gained trust, affection and respect, and convinced the natives to convert to the Catholic faith. However, the Spanish conquistador Nuño de Guzmán attempted to rob the natives of their possessions and abuse them for refusing to comply. This caused a period where the natives went back into the mountains and to destroy the progress that Martín de la Coruña had made. It was until the Friar Jacob Dacian succeeded de la Coruña that dialogue began again. An arrangement was made in 1542 for a few families to reallocate to the location now known as Coeneo due to a scarcity of water around the region. Once the new community was established plans were drafted to construct the town's church, a town square, and a patron was given "La Virgen del Rosario."

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.”
