MEXICAN
REVOLUTION

Porfirio
Diaz city was chosen by Don Francisco I. Madero to initiate armed
warfare under its control, November 20th 1910, movement that does
not prosper due to the small amount of people that were managed
to reunite, starting off from Ciudad Juárez city in where
it finally fulfilled his assignment. With the triumphant revolution,
Madero decides to return to Mexico by Porfirio Diaz City, June
1st 1911. With the fall of the Porfirian dictatorship, the Governor
of the State, Mr. Venustiano Carranza, decreed that the city conserves
the category of city, to be named Piedras Negras again, December
14th of that year, but that took effect until day 19. Fifth and
definitive name of the city.

Piedras
Negras were the Headquarters of the Constitutionalist Army, having
as their leader the First Head, Don Venustiano Carranza, from April
19th to the July 15th 1913, having as host one of today’s
historical building of the Border Customs. In the Round House or
Arsenal the famous cannons were constructed that much helped the
Constitutionalist cause.
