Monterrey, Mexico History[https://www.britannica.com/place/Monterrey-Mexico] Founded as a Spanish settlement in 1596, Monterrey grew slowly, owing to Indian resistance, periodic floods, and a lack of mineral wealth. By 1775 it had only a few hundred residents, but in the 19th century, the city mushroomed into a major population center. During the Mexican-American War (1846–48) it was captured by U.S. troops, many of whom ravaged the city before the order was restored. Large-scale foreign investment was attracted after 1882, when Monterrey was linked by rail with Laredo, Texas. By the turn of the century, thousands of workers were producing iron, brass, steel, wagons, woolen textiles, beer, and flour. In spite of a devastating flood in 1909, the city continued to develop rapidly, particularly after the Inter-American Highway was begun in 1930.
Español [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterrey] Monterrey es una ciudad mexicana, la capital y ciudad más poblada del estado de Nuevo León, se encuentra en el noreste de México, en la Sierra Madre Oriental. Monterrey es parte del Área Metropolitana de Monterrey, cuya población es de 4,1 millones de habitantes al último censo oficial del 2010, siendo la tercera área metropolitana más poblada de México, después de la Ciudad de México y Guadalajara, y la segunda en extensión territorial con 958 km².

Monterrey fue fundada en 1596 por el español Diego de Montemayor, siendo desde entonces un importante referente en la historia de México. Durante la Guerra de Independencia fue una de las ciudades menos afectadas; sin embargo, se llevaron a cabo varias guerrillas poco después, siendo el 7 de mayo de 1824 cuando se creó el estado de Nuevo León y se designó Monterrey como su capital. En los años posteriores a la Guerra de Independencia de México, y debido a las luchas entre el federalismo y el centralismo, se originaron varios disturbios políticos y sociales, que con la Intervención estadounidense en 1846, originó una batalla durante el mes de septiembre.8
Durante 1867 surgieron varias fábricas, lo cual impulsó el crecimiento económico de la ciudad, siendo frenado por la ocupación de la ciudad el 24 de abril de 1914 por fuerzas revolucionarias. Fue hasta los años 1920 cuando se generaron las bases para el progreso económico, social y cultural de la ciudad. En los años posteriores se crearon varios centros educativos como la actual Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL) y el Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM). Además del establecimiento de la Fundidora Monterrey, la ciudad experimentó un gran crecimiento industrial. El Monterrey moderno, cuenta con una creciente infraestructura urbana, incluyendo un tren ligero y funcionales vías de comunicación.
