It was eventually known as Apatzeo ("Yellow flower") by the Purépecha. Following the Spanish conquest c.1525, Apaseo was the first town founded in what is now the state of Guanajuato. It received its present name of Apaseo el Grande in 1957, to avoid confusion with the neighboring town of Apaseo el Alto.
