History
General Viejo's colonization began at the end of the 19th century. Manuel Estrada settled in this land in 1870. Also, Marta Durán Elizondo and her husband Trino Montero, who was known as "Don Trino", were one of the few families that founded what is now the population of the General Valley.[citation needed]
