Mitchell White, then editor and publisher of the Mexico Ledger: "'The first settlers found a wooden sign along the trail. It pointed southwest, and on it had been painted <i>Mexico</i>.'" To avoid unnecessary labor, the sign was left in place.

There are, of course, other historic spots including Simmons Stables and Graceland. In the late 1970s, Mexico began ripping up crumbling sidewalks of the downtown square and installing red paver bricks accented with turn-of-the-century lamp posts and park benches. In the 1980s, Mexico was one of six nationwide finalists for <a href="/wiki/Saturn_Corporation" title="Saturn Corporation">Saturn</a>'s new U.S. auto plant.
