Since the foundation of the department of San
Miguel, on June 12, 1824, San Luis de La Reina
is his municipality. By Law of July 14, 1875, he
joined the district of Chinameca. In 1890 it
had 2,270 inhabitants, and it was simple town,
according to the versed geographer gift
Guillermo Dawson. However, Dr. Santiago
Ignacio Barberena records the fact that "in
1878 he was granted the title of villa," which is
completely false. It was incorporated in the
district of Sesori, by Law of March 14, 1892.
