| | Tampico, a city with history (Tamaulipas) |
 | | Colonial Tampico, known as Villa de San Luis de Tampico in honor of viceroy Velasco, was located next to the Huasteco town, and it is quite likely that it remained there until 1556. |
 | | La Villa de San Luis or San Salvador de Tampico, present-day Tampico Alto, was founded on January 15, 1754; after the danger of the pirates waned in 1738, the town began to grow and recover. |
 | | Today, Tampico is one of the most important ports in our country, and it is not only because of its intense commercial activity, its privileged geographic location, or its thriving industries, but rather because of its history, which can still be seen in many of its old buildings. |
