In 1801 the existence of precious minerals was discovered in Macuelizo, attracting many immigrants from other regions of the country, motivated by these newfound resources. By 1813 the first hamlet had been formed and in 1815 it was founded as a town. The first founders of this municipality were the Cáceres and Ramírez families, from Honduras; those who over time became the administrators of the mines. This municipality also has molejón stone mines where they extract stones that are sold and used to sharpen knives, axes and machetes. It also has granite, tungsten, molybdenum, lead, basalt, and pyrite mines. Macuelizo is recognized for its quiet rural life, where you can feel the scent of pine blossoms and coffee; and as an ancestral town, originated by the exploitation of gold and silver in colonial times.
