About Leandro Valle
Leandro Valle lies at 1,997 metres on a plain of the Mezquital Valley that already belongs to the Neovolcanic Axis, in San Salvador municipality. Its 2020 population was 573 people, 1.56% of the municipality. The PueblosAmérica directory places it about 2 km north-east of San Salvador, the seat, and about 5.6 km from San Antonio Zaragoza, the municipality's largest locality.
The climate is semi-dry and temperate; across the municipality the annual mean is 17 C and about 475 mm of rain falls a year, a low figure that shows in the vegetation of prickly pear, cardón cactus, garambullo, mesquite, huizache and pepper tree. Its water belongs to the Actopan River sub-basin. Wikipedia lists the village among the places named for Leandro Valle Martínez (1833-1861), a liberal general.
The economy around it depends on irrigation: San Salvador harvested 3,577 hectares of green alfalfa in 2015, plus 3,250 of maize, and sheep farming stands out, with more than 8,000 head. The municipality has a tianguis and a high human development index (26th of Hidalgo's 84 municipalities in 2015).
