Chilpancingo was very important to Mexican history because it was here where the National Congress met under José María Morelos y Pavón in 1813 during the Mexican War of Independence, and it was also of significance during the Mexican Revolution.
Город получил значение в течение войны за независимость Мексики, как стратегический пункт для лидеров повстанцев Х. М. Морелоса (José María Morelos y Pavón) и братьев Браво.
