    I LOVE Leon!!! I have spent a lot of time there since I'm in the footwear business. I make custom cycling shoes and used to have a small factory in San Francisco del Rincon (San Pancho).
    You are right; the people there are really nice. Very friendly and helpful. Can you tell that I miss it very much?!?!

      León, España no se llama así por el animal. Fue fundada por los romanos bajo el nombre latino de "Legione" (Legión) por ser la base de la Séptima Legión Romana que en español antiguo se traducía como Leyon y termino evolucionando a León.

The world unites there every year to celebrate a certain country, art and music. Also there are many cities named Leon through out the world (Spain, France, and South America). Aren't you glad you got out of Texas to know about the true world.

    Welcome to León!!! León was named in honor to the viceroy of the time almost 450 years ago on January 20th. It is the union of 5 towns or villages, now called barrios -the only barrios in León, all the others are colonias. San Miguel, el Coecillo, Valle de Señora, Barrio arriba y la zona centro.

    @SergioSerrano83 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Leon's name explanation is simple. The population is named after the city of León in northern Castile. During the Roman Empire, both León and Lyon in France were defensive fortresses that held a Legion. The name derives from the origin of those cities as Legion holders and defensive places. Over the years, the name changed phonetically to adapt to the Romance languages emerging from Latin: Castilian and French. Curiously, the name of the city in contemporary Spanish matches that of the animal.

    I love Leon to buy shoes, but I don't go to the market, instead there is a mall of shoes called Plaza Mulza where you can jump on a little train to visit every store of the mall. You can spend a few hours seeing brands and putting shoes all the time.

    What's going on my fellow Tejanos?, I liked the vids of you guys in my old stomping grounds (CdMx) and now you're visiting my father's birthplace. Awesome!!! To answer your question, many cities in Mex are named after the cities in Spain from which the conquerers/founders were originally from. As far as I know, the original city of Leon in Spain was named "Legio" after a Roman Legion founded it as a military encampment. How the word Legio became Leon overtime, I''m not sure, but was a process that took some 700-800 years. Nothing to do with the actual animal...but dont quote me, I could be wrong, lol.
