== History ==
La Garita, Jalisco formally was called the property or Hacienda of San Lázaro when it was first settled by rich businessmen. San Lázaro or Saint Lazarus being the patron of the settlement. The hacienda was founded approximately on the year 1846 (it is the date that is reference by the eldest citizens). During those times merchants that journeyed from the state of Michoacán to their destination, the state of Colima, stopped to rest in this area as well as promoted commerce in the region. Transportation during those times for merchandise was difficult and long for they only used animals to carry the loads. The merchants took this place as a refuge to rest and later continue their trip. It is one of the reasons why they dominated it "La Garita" being understood that "garita" comes from the old French "garita" that means refuge, of Germanic origin. In such circumstances people of different places settled down in this place, like them foreigners arrived, who constructed properties in the region, among them the one of La Garita that in that time, the landowners were those who had in their power the land and control of the region.
"It was in the time of president 'Lazaro Cardenas' when the federal government transformed the region into "ejidal" form or communal land, granting to the farmers the land that previously was of the landowners" for farming and settling(qtd. in Revista Sur2000). In 1940 the construction of the state highway Jiquilpan-Manzanillo 110 started, which crosses through the middle of the town of La Garita and connects with the town of Mazamitla and the city of Tamazula de Gordiano in the state of Jalisco; with which profited to take off the relative isolation. The name of the "Hacienda de San Lázaro" officially changed name to "La Garita de San Lázaro." Over the years the people dropped the patron's name and left only the name of "La Garita." In the year of 1946, to La Garita, a "Delegación" was granted to the town having its own civil registry and a police group.〔Information received with permission from Revista Sur2000〕
