Historical crops still being cultivated in the valley include tobacco, corn, beans and chiles. An abundance of mangoes, chirimoyos, capomos, and date palms grow in the area.
At the foot of the Vallejo Mountains in the Pre-Columbian period, "Tintoque" (Valley of the Warriors) was the village center of a small chieftainship of Cuyuteco Indians, within the larger Xalisco homeland of the Cuyuteco. They cultivated the fertile fields of the valley, rather than going to the sea, for their main food sources.
The village was renamed "Valle de Banderas" (Valley of the Flags) by Francisco Cortés de Buenaventura, the nephew of Hernán Cortés, when he conquered the Pacific coast region in 1525.
The town of Valle de Banderas, with a 140-year-old church, is the oldest and most important town in the municipality.
