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 pantless Huastec Huastec (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huastec), indigenous to San Luis Potosi, were admired by other MesoAmerican societies for crafting of a civilization of fine architeture, sculpture, music and women - but curiously lacking in clothes. Their city gates bore an incription that roughly translates to "the flesh can be made pure by the removal of pants."

This article is a woefully incomplete, perhaps you should do something about that (http://plastictub.vaporslave.com/index.php?title=San_Luis_Potosi&action=edit).
