se construyó el Palacio municipal como se conoce en la actualidad.
Ubicado en la calle Reforma de la cabecera municipal, se desconoce la fecha de inicio de
su construcción pues solo se tiene el dato de que el primer nivel fue en 1840 y no se sabe la
fecha de su culminación, el segundo piso se agregó en la última remodelación en 1985,
siguiendo el estilo colonial que impera en la mayoría de los palacios municipales del
estado de Jalisco, en ese año también se remodeló la arquería que lo distingue.

División Provisional del Territorio del Estado, de fecha 27 de marzo de 1824, se menciona a
Zapotlanejo como Ayuntamiento. En noviembre de ese mismo año, se declara al pueblo de
Zapotlanejo como cabecera del departamento de Tonalá. El decreto número 366, del 19 de
septiembre de 1873, ya hace mención de Zapotlanejo como municipalidad.

punto, columnas de aspecto dórico con un atinado equilibrio estético que destaca en el
centro del municipio. Actualmente se encuentra pintado de blanco destacando el gris de la
cantera, pero en otros años ha lucido un colorido particular que no desentona con el
entorno. Los primeros pobladores de Zapotlanejo fueron los tecuexes que se establecieron
en la comarca hacia 1218. En este lugar formaron un pequeño señorío llamado Coyutla,
sojuzgado al señorío de Tololotlán, que era tributario del de Tonalá. Hacia el año 1523, al
iniciarse la colonización, se comenzaron a fundar pueblos, villas y ciudades por disposición
del rey Carlos V. En 1530, el capitán español Cristóbal de Oñate conquistó la región.
Parte de esta historia, así como el paso del Padre de la Patria Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, y la
lucha actual por salir adelante mediante la educación y el esfuerzo de sus habitantes se
encuentra plasmado en un relieve ubicado en el interior del edificio.
