After the conquest, during the colonial period, the Municipality of Homún was founded as an encomienda first for Pedro Alvarez y Melchor Pacheco in 1549; Juan Vela in 1564; Juan Vela de Aguirre, Catalina de Rua and Santillán Gómez del Castillo in 1579; Pedro de Mézquita in 1629; Cristóbal Gutiérrez Flores, Juan del Castillo y Quiñones and Juan Serrano in 1687; Ana Serrano and Alonso de Aranda y Aguayo in 1710, who had control of 162 Indians; and finally Antonio del Castillo y Carrillo in 1725 who controlled 469 Indians.[3]
