History

Prior to 1937, the area was known as Rancho 'El Camichín', a land grant owned by Jesús Rosas. The land was donated by Rosas with the purpose of constructing a townsite. Many of the people residing in the nearby town of San Jerónimo, migrated to acquire lands in the town. The town was officially established with a document[1] signed on April 9, 1937 by the governor and residents dictating that the new name would be "Lázaro Cárdenas", in honor of Lázaro Cárdenas del Río, President of Mexico from Michoacán (1934–1940).

Population

gollark: It seems problematic to go around actually blaming said soldiers when, had they magically been in a different environment somehow, they could have been fine.
gollark: Both, really.
gollark: Yes. It would be preferable if they did *not* do such things. But I don't think the average random soldier can be reasonably expected not to.
gollark: If everyone around you seems to be fine with it and you fear that if you seem *not* fine with it you'll be punished in some way, you'll just rationalize all the way to beeland.
gollark: The issue with "not doing it" is that humans have the whole ridiculous conformity thing going on.
