Best Answer

The small rural town of La Gloria in the state of Veracruz is the suspected place where everything started (pop: 2,243). The town has several pig farms.

The first confirmed cases of Swine Flu were identified by March 17th, 2009. At the time, 60% of the town's population was already affected by the illness.

Many of the affected people sold their agricultural products or were treated in hospitals at Mexico City (pop: 21.16 million), spreading the disease.
