For most of the colonial period, the area was sparsely populated, including the town of Taxco itself.which was governed as a dependency of Mexico City. When the modern state of Guerrero was created in 1850, Taxco was chosen to be the seat of the municipality. Silversmithing and tourism were reinvigorated in Taxco by American William Spratling, who settled there in the 1920s, creating silver design workshops and exported items, mostly to the United States. With its fame for silversmithing, tourism became a major economic force in Taxco. In exceptionally good condition. Seller Inventory # 29319
