The strategic location, which is now Chihuahua City, served as a brief camp for Don Juan de Oñate and his colonists in March of 1598 as they passed through the area on their way north. About 50 years later, silver was spotted in the surrounding mountains to the east. Although a couple of prospects were briefly worked, conflicts with Indians drove out the miners until the early 1700s. Eventually, the Santa Eulalia (also Aquiles Serdan) mining district flourished and became one of the world’s richest.
