History
When the Spanish conquistadors came, the location was part of three native towns called pupulapan. The towns were then called, by the Europeans, San Martín, San Pedro, y San Bartolomé Perulapán, also called pupulapía, y transformed into perulapía. In 1770 Pedro Cortés y Larraz estimated that the population was 421 natives and 6 Latinos in population.
It was part of the department of San Salvador from 1824 until 1835, at which time it was turned over to Cuscatlán. Because of an earthquake in 1872, the town was moved a kilometer from its original location. Its population was 960 inhabitants in 1890.
