 | | The Villa Gonzalez municipality is located to the Northeast of the Santiago municipality, and is bordered by the Altamira municipality to the north, the Yaque del Norte River to the south, the Santigo municipality to the east and Villa Bisonó (Navarrete) municipality to the west. |
 | | In 1915, Las Lagunas was made into a Municipal District, but later on it lost this status due to political reasons, although it did regain it in 1958. |
 | | From then on, the residents of Las Lagunas requested it be made into a municipality; this was accomplished in 1991, when its name is changed from Las Lagunas to Villa González, in honor of Manuel de Jesús González Estévez, a distinguished citizen from a previous era. |
