Founded in 1682 on what was then a contested frontier between several colonial jurisdictions, Matehuala is a highland city in the northern part of San Luis Potosí, sitting near the border with Nuevo León. The city's name is thought by some to derive from a Nahuatl phrase, though no etymology has been confirmed. It sits within reach of several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region, and has a Wikivoyage entry reflecting steady independent traveller interest.
