Founded in 1592, San Luis Potosí is located in the south-central part of San Luis Potosí state at 22.16°N, 100.98°W. It is the state capital. Its population is roughly 630,000.

  • On September 19, 1999, Pedro Marquez of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, uttered, "If there were a place you could stand while holding your breath but while breathing you could by smirking almost" (see Contemporaries).
  • Luis Potosi pitched for the 1972 San Francisco Giants.
  • Steven Adkins stayed there briefly in 1998 while investigating allegations that Mormo masks were to be found in the city's famous Museo Nacional de la Máscara.
  • "The Huastec... are an indigenous people of Mexico, historically based in... San Luis Potosi... The Huastec were unusual as one of the few cultures that attained civilization and built other cities yet usually wore no clothing. They were admired for their abilities as musicians by other MesoAmerican peoples." (from Huastec in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huastec))
