Hacienda del Tesorero

This hacienda was founded by the Treasurer of the Royal Caja de Zacatecas, Pedro Gómez de Contreras in the sixteenth century.

It passed to Manuel Diáz de Inguanzo, who had started as the administrator of Hacienda San José de Maguey and had used his salary to buy this Hacienda del Tesorero and the Hacienda de los Perez. These two properties became the foundation of the Inguanzo family fortune, which increased dramatically during the 19th century. Manuel's son, Eulogio Inguanzo Zesati del Castelu, married Maria del Refugio Amozurrutia de Inguanzo, whose father was the owner of Hacienda La Labor de Santa Gertrudis. By the time Eulogio died in 1893, his estate was valued at 280 thousand pesos, a vast fortune in those days. Included were at least three haciendas, various ranches, and several houses in Jerez.
