History

{{See also|Order of Preachers}}

In the 1540s, bishop Francisco Marroquín split the ecclesiastical administration of the central valley of Guatemala between the Order of Preachers and the Franciscans, assigning Sumpango's curato to the former.{{sfn|Juarros|1818|p=336}} In 1638, the Dominicans separated their large doctrines in groups revolving around six convents:
