In the past, when the town was still rural, the economy was based on products such as pulque, animal feed, salt and tequezquite as well as domestic fowl and other small animals, mostly to be sold in Mexico City.
Di masa lalu, ketika kota ini masih berupa pedesaan, kehidupan perekonomiannya didasarkan pada produk-produk seperti pulque, pakan ternak, garam dan tequezquite serta unggas domestik dan hewan kecil lainnya, sebagian besar untuk dijual di Ciudad de México.
