Juárez Hidalgo is a town and one of the 84 municipalities of Hidalgo, in central-eastern Mexico. Created in 1869, its name honours both Benito Juárez and Miguel Hidalgo. The present-day municipal seat was known as Itztapanitla prior to European contact and, in colonial times, as San Guillermo.[1]
The municipality of Juárez Hidalgo covers an area of 161.9 km². In 2020, it had a total population of 2,895, down from the 2010 figure[2] but up from the 1,820 reported in the 2005 census.[3] Fewer than 1.5% of the population are indigenous language speakers, with Nahuatl the most common.[2]
