María Guadalupe Urzúa Flores (December 12, 1912 – December 7, 2004) was a Mexican politician, activist, and the Municipal President of Jocotepec, from 1983 to 1985, and the Municipal President of San Martín de Hidalgo, from 1997 to 2000.[1][2]
Early life[edit]
Urzúa Flores was born in the town of Jocotepec, Jalisco, to José Urzúa Gutiérrez, a musician, and Rosario Flores Monroy, a schoolteacher from San Martín de Hidalgo.[2] Her maternal grandfather Gerardo Flores was a physician who, at the request of Benito Juárez, settled in San Martín de Hidalgo.[2] Maternally orphaned shortly after birth, Urzúa Flores was raised by her maternal aunts in San Martín de Hidalgo where she attended the Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez Primary School.[2]
Legacy[edit]
The localities of San Martín de Hidalgo and El Tepehuaje de Morelos have honored Urzúa Flores' memory by naming a street (G. Urzúa) and a public library (María Guadalupe Urzúa Flores Municipal Public Library) after her, respectively.
