Mexico 's Federal District is divided.Founded as "Villa de Guadalupe" in 1563, it became the city of "Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo" in 1828, and finally a "delegación" in 1931; as such, it was named after
Gustavo A. Madero , the brother and fellow revolutionary of PresidentFrancisco I. Madero .The area houses the
Basílica de Guadalupe , the shrine ofOur Lady of Guadalupe at the foot ofTepeyac Hill , where Roman Catholics believe the Virgin Mary appeared to the Native AmericanJuan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin in 1531.The
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo , ending theMexican-American War of 1846–48 was signed here.References
