In the above link to History of Mexico - Indigenous Jalisco, this article
by John P. Schmal states that the colonial province of Nueva Galicia included,
besides Jalisco,  only present-day Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Nayarit and
the northwest corner San Luis Potosi, and that the Spaniards and
some Indian allies began settlement there in the early 16th
century.   The article also describes which Indian tribes
settled in various towns.  This article sounds familiar.  Maybe
someone has posted a link to it before?
