San Jose de los Reynoso was founded in 1783 by Spanish settlers. Before the arrival of the conquistadores, Tecuexes lived in that area. The Tecuexes were defeated by the Spanish and then the first Spanish families of hidalgos began to settle in the area. The first three families to arrive in San Jose were the Reynoso family, the Lozas and the Muñoz. The name San Jose was chosen as an honor to Saint Joseph, since it was a Spanish occupied area consisting of devout Catholics. The second part of the name "Reynoso" was added because their family were the first Europeans to arrive, and the founders were also an illegitimate and lesser branch of the Reynoso family. The first church began construction in 1837 and was completed in 1887, as it was done in a small religious town this was viewed as important.
