Bernal México

The present town of Bernal was founded in 1647 by Lieutenant Alonso Cabrera, who, together with the town’s first settlers, moved from Cadereyta to establish a settlement that would protect local residents from constant raids by the Pames and Chichimeca peoples. Throughout much of the 17th and 18th centuries, Bernal was considered the southern boundary of the Gran Chichimeca, a vast region that included the northern parts of the present-day states of Querétaro and Guanajuato and much of San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas, where Chichimeca, Pames, and Jonaces groups resisted Spanish colonization.
