The town has several names during its history including San Francisco del Valle de Temascaltepec, Temascaltepec de indios, Villa del Valle. The original names including Temascaltepec caused confusion with the nearby "Real de Minas de Temascaltepec", now
Temascaltepec, so the county was known as "El Valle" (The Valley).
[2] "de Bravo" was added later to honor
Nicolás Bravo who fought at the
Castle of Chapultepec during the
Mexican-American War. Its
glyph includes the image of a
temascal in reference to its original name.
In 1971 Valle de Bravo was known as
typical city and
magic town in 2005. The town and the surrounding area are well-known in Mexico as a tourist destination, principally because it is natural area only 2 hours away from Mexico City.
