History
- In March 2012, officials found the remains of at least 167 people in a cave at a ranch in Frontera Comalapa. The remains date to the pre-Columbian era (between 700 and 1200). The site is believed to have been a cemetery, and clay works were also found.
- In January 2021, former municipal president Irán Mérida Matamoros (2008–2010) was arrested on charges including diversion of resources and illegal exercise of public service. Shortly after, the current mayor, Oscar Armando Ramírez Aguilar, was tied to a tree for delivering a poorly repaired water tank.
