Historical Note
The state of Puebla is in the central southeastern part of Mexico; its
capital is the city of Puebla. Some of the documents have "Puebla de los
Angeles," which was the original name when founded by the Spanish in 1532.
During the mid-nineteenth century, it was occupied by American, and later
French, forces.
