Name
Originally the place was a neighbourhood known as Porfirio Díaz de Morelos. In 1899 it adopted the name of Francisco Javier Mina but 110 years after its foundation, in 1992 it was officially named Chipilo.
Origin
Chipilo was founded on October 7, 1882 by Italian immigrants from the Northern region of Veneto, although there were also some Piedmontese and Lombards among the founders. Most of them came from Segusino and the surrounding villages in the provinces of Treviso and Belluno, such as Quero, Valdobbiadene, Feltre and Maser. In this sense, Italian immigration to Chipilo differs from that of other parts of the Americas, but resembles that of the agrarian regions of Argentina, areas where most immigrants come from the regions of North-Central Italy.

History
Italian immigrants came to Mexico after the signing of a contract to bring Italian settlers to Mexico, between Francisco Rizzo and Secretary of Development Carlos Pacheco, during one of the last processes of foreign colonization to Mexico. Many of them were dedicated to livestock. Dairy products became famous in many places in Mexico. During the first 20 years of its foundation, Chipilo was a colony of foreigners called Colonia Fernández Leal. R [| Wikipedia Chipilo article in Spanish]. At the moment the need for augmenting the population encouraged single people to get into relations and it is said that these new immigrants were not accepting to relate to local families already living in the area.
