Chihuahua (state)
The French forces tried to subdue and capture the liberal government based in Saltillo. On September 21, 1864, Jose Maria Patoni and Jesus Gonzalez Ortega lost against the French forces at the Battle of Estanzuelas; the supreme government led by President Juarez was forced to evacuate the city of Saltillo and relocate to Chihuahua. Juarez stopped in Ciudad Jimenez, Valle de Allende, and Hidalgo de Parral, in turn. He decreed Parral the capital of Mexico from October 2-5, 1864. Perceiving the threat from the advancing French forces, the president continued his evacuation through Santa Rosalia de Camargo, Santa Cruz de Rosales, and finally Chihuahua, Chihuahua. On October 12, 1864, the people of the state gave President Juarez an overwhelmingly supportive reception, led by Governor Angel Trias. On October 15, 1864 the city of Chihuahua was declared the temporary capital of Mexico.
