Tierra Colorada is a city in the Central region of the Mexican state of Guerrero. It serves as the municipal seat of the municipality of Juan R. Escudero.[1]
The name of this place comes from its red mountain soils. In 1849, General Juan N. Álvarez owned a hacienda in this region, which he named "Tierra Colorada", reflecting the area's characteristic soil. By 1854, the town was officially established with the name it still bears today.[2]
