About
Tequila La Capellanía takes its name from the land it stands on. La Capellanía was a large hacienda that belonged to the parish of San José de Gracia around 1805, which is where the name comes from: a capellanía was a church endowment. A general named Ibarra later expropriated it and the land was sold off in parcels. The one where the distillery stands was called El Buey until the parish priest Darío Gutiérrez renamed it San Francisco; the next one over is Santa Rosa. The old hacienda house still stands, worn down, at the foot of a hill to the west.
The same fields have a Cristero story. A typed local history recounts that in late October 1928, federal soldiers confronted J. Refugio Zavala, a sharecropper on this land, while he was harvesting. More on that era is in the Cristero War article.
