Unión de San Antonio
Unión de San Antonio is a town and municipality located in the Mexican state of Jalisco. It is named after Saint Anthony of Padua since the first church built there was in his honor. As of 2005, the municipality had a population of 15,484. It is located about 32 km (20 mi) west of León, Guanajuato. The main local industry is agriculture, including maize, wheat, beans, and livestock.
The small town receives its name from the intersection of two roads at the "Old Dam", which currently still exists on the east side of town. Through the hard work of Don Pablo and Don Jose Antonio, they constructed the chapel that became the heart and center of the town and the magnificent church it is today.[citation needed]
