By 1616, the number of Spaniards in the Valley was high enough for the indigenous inhabitants to complain about the damages caused to their farms by the steer and horses of the Spaniards. Racial mixing between the Spanish and [[Amerindian]]s of the region existed in those early years. The documented complaints of the indigenous inhabitants include the extramarital affairs of Diego González and Diego López, both Spaniards, with Indian women and those of Juan de Miramontes, also a Spaniard, with a mestizo woman who was the wife of a Tlaxcaltec. We also know that the Bobadilla, trustees of Tepechitlán, were mestizos, since the first trustee, Pedro de Bobadilla married and had offspring with an indigenous woman.
 
The local indigenous population was the main supply of labor for the salt mines in Santa Maria y El Peñol Blanco in the early 1600s17th century. The town and its surrounding wooded mountains were also key suppliers of wood fiber used for construction of the frontier towns of [[Jerez, Zacatecas|Jerez]] and [[Colotlán]]. The jurisdiction of Tlaltenango included at least three sawmill and charcoal plants in the 1600s17th century.
 
On July 18, 2008 there was a massive flash flood, killing 3, and affecting 15,000 of the town's people.
