Originally Santa Clara del Cobre was inhabited by the Purépecha people, who discovered the region's copper and developed techniques to work it, both in this town and in its surroundings, the ancient indigenous people of the region hammered the copper to create utilitarian items, ornaments such as zoomorphic bells, bezotes, earrings and other instruments such as axes and knives. With the arrival of the Spanish and to their amazement at the nobility of said metal, they collaborated together with the Indians to improve work techniques and helped expand its uses, especially in the field of war. The arrival of Bishop Vasco de Quiroga marked a very important change in the organization and progress of artisanal activities and trades.

Vasco de Quiroga taught to perfect the artisanal techniques of the natives, at the same time that he introduced new forms of production from Spain, among them, the casting technique, which endure to this day.
