Once a sleepy
colonial
town
, San Miguel changed in the 1930s when Unitedstatesian and Canadian
expatriate
s retired to this
Guanajuato
village for artistic
inspiration
or simply to be left
alone
.
San Miguel began as a
mission
, which then turned into a market
center
for the surrounding haciendas. Native son and
soldier
Ignacio Allende along with
Catholic
priest Miguel Hidalgo conspired to
overthrow
the Spanish rule, thereby explaining why San Miguel and the state of
Guanajuato
are considered to be the cradle of
Mexican
independence. It became a
city
in 1826 and had Allende added to its name in honor of the independence hero. A steady decline in the
city
seemed to stop after the
Mexican
government declared the city a historical monument in 1926. Modern
construction
was banned in the downtown "district" and the old, crumbling,
colonial
buildings around the central
plaza
were restored. Lastly, if you had to describe the
city
in one sentence or less it would be: "
Artsy-fartsy
,
cosmopolitan
, miniature version of
Guanajuato city
or any other small, college-influenced
town
around the world which is influenced by quote-unquote
coolness
."
