Villa Guadalupe is a former town near what is now Mexico City which in 1531 was the site of the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the most renowned Marian apparition in the Americas. She can be venerated in the Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine, located in the villa (town).
Villa de Guadalupe is located in the Mexican Federal District within the borough of Gustavo A. Madero. The town was founded in 1563, it was chartered as the city of "Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo" in 1828, and finally renamed after a revolutionary in 1931.
The Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo which ended the Mexican-American War was signed here in 1848.
