DIEGO DE MONTEMAYOR
'Diego de Montemayor' (d. 1610 or 1612) is credited with the founding of Monterrey, which is the capital of the Mexican northeastern state of Nuevo León, on September 12, 1596.
This founding was the third effort. The two previous ones bore different names. Diego de Montemayor used the name "Monterrey" partly to curry favor from the Viceroy of the time, the Gaspar de Zúñiga y Acevedo, Count of Monterrey.
