Villa Nicolas Romero

Ciudad Nicolás Romero is the largest city and municipal seat of the municipality of Nicolás Romero in Mexico State, Mexico. It is located 58 km from the city of Toluca, the state capital and lies in the north-central part of the state, just northwest of the Federal District (Mexico City). 

Industrialization began here in the middle of the 19th century with factories like the “Molino Viejo” (now La Colmena), "Rio Grande" and "San Ildefonso" textile factories as well as the thread manufacturer Barrón, all of which are still in operation.
