Spanish-born businessman Juan Bautista Gutiérrez migrated to San Cristóbal Totonicapán in the 1920s and began some of his first business ventures there, running a bookstore and making candles. He was eventually elected mayor for a time and helped introduce electricity and other viable infrastructure to the then-small indigenous town, including a bridge over the Samalá River that is still in good, working condition and actively utilized by the community. In addition, his children, including his daughter Isabel, were all born in San Cristóbal Totonicapán.
