XIX Century

1855 The first owner was known as Mr. Benito Montero, a resident of Calkini, Campeche sold Santa Rosa in this year to Encarnacion and Jose Dolores Guzman. Both brothers set up a partnership to manage Santa Rosa and three other Haciendas in the area.

1870 The Guzman brothers decided to dissolve the partnership and split their properties, leaving Jose Dolores with Santa Rosa.

1873 Jose Dolores needed to provide collateral for a $ 4.000 loan so he mortgaged all his Haciendas.

1874 Because of difficulties in meeting his obligations, the ownership of the mortgaged property was transferred to young Jose Dominguez Peon, only 21 years old, since Jose Dolores Guzman had borrowed from him.

1886 Santa Rosa was mortgaged to Manuel Zapata Bolio for the amount of $ 20.000 pesos.

1897 In this year the first stage of the actual infrastructure, started under the Dominguez Peon brothers and Urcelay family management was finished. By this year the Hacienda had some 90 people living in the community.

1889 Jose Dominguez had to sell the Hacienda to his older brother Alfredo Maria de la Trinidad because of economic reasons.

1892 Alfredo Dominguez had to sell the Hacienda due to economical difficulties. It was purchased by a well known Hacienda owner, Jose Antonio Urcelay Peniche. For the next few years, the Hacienda was owned by Mr. Urcelay until his death in 1897 leaving Santa Rosa to his wife, Guadalupe Martinez de Urcelay.

1897 Santa Rosa counted in this year with 16 henequen plantations of different ages (young, mature and old), 363 heads of cattle, 236 cows, 90 bulls, 37 calves, 29 horses (including mares) and 39 mules.
