Intendancy of Guadalajara
The Intendancy of Guadalajara was an administrative division of New Spain created in 1786 under the Bourbon Reforms, which replaced the older kingdom of New Galicia with intendancies run by royal officials. Governed from Guadalajara, it covered roughly the modern states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Aguascalientes and Colima. It lasted until Mexican independence in 1821, when it became the province and then the state of Jalisco.
