Los Herreras is a municipality in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico and also the name of its seat of government and main population center. Los Herreras is at 281 meters above sea level and is located in the east-central part of the state. Its coordinates are 25º53' N and 99º33' W.
The foundation of this village goes back to the middle of the 17th century and was originally called 'Rancho de la Manteca', Spanish for Lard Ranch. Don Juan de Zavala was given a land grant for its foundation by the governor, Don Martín de Zavala. Juan de Zavala and inhabitants from Cadereyta began the foundation.
The haciendas of San Vicente, Guadalupe and San Agustín, which are all under the jurisdiction of the modern municipality of Los Herreras, were all older foundations with larger populations than Rancho de la Manteca. However, this last one was chosen as the head of the municipality for its closeness to the railroad line that went between Monterrey and Matamoros.
Rancho de la Manteca was elevated to the status of township ("Villa") by a state congressional decree on November 20, 1874, which was signed into law by governor Don Ramón Treviño on December 9, 1874.
At its elevation to township status, the name of the municipality was changed to Los Herreras. The most commonly accepted reason for the selection of this name is that it was to honor the Herrera brothers, heroes of the battle of San Bernabe during Mexico's fight for independence from Spain.
