There are some ruins of something around San Marcos Tierra, northeast of Palo Verde. I recall seeing what I think were ovens, and a water system. Maybe this was Las Delicias?

Also, I understand that Palo Verde, or maybe it was called then San Marcos, moved to its current location many, many years ago. It used to be about halfway to Punta Chivato from where the highway is now. Maybe 40 or 50 years ago? There are still ruins of the old buildings, including the school, in the old location. Some of the locals lived there.


San Marcos Tierra, like many other developments in the area (San Bruno, San Rafale etc), was a Boleo project to produce food for their workers.
Created in the early 1900's.
With abundant water under ground, several more farming projects (Pozo Cien, Pozo Noventa y Dos, etc)sprung up with government support in the 1950's

Rancho Las Delicias was a small ranch next to the old road (close to the new paved road). It only made it onto the maps because they had water.

Palo Verde is a government sponsored settlement that came up in the early 1980's, initially named Ejido San Lucas.


This is GREAT research, Harald! Thank you!!
