The history of Puerto Vallarta dates back, believe it or not, to more than 2,600 years. This has been shown in the investigations by archaeologist Joseph B. Mountjoy from the University of Carolina, who - after conducting carbon 14 dating tests on a clay pot found in 1991- established that the earliest habitants in the region date back to a period between 580 and 320 BC.
But it wasn’t until 1918, exactly on May 31st, 1918, that the state of Jalisco congress would issue a decree that would elevate the Las Peñas commissariat to a Municipality, changing its name to Puerto Vallarta. In 1968 this destination already had a major infrastructure as well as air and land connectivity, and so it was named: The City of Puerto Vallarta.
So, this 31st of May this beautiful city will be celebrating 103 years as a Municipality and 53 as a city. Fascinating visitors for over a century!
