Haciendas are large land estates in Mexico, usually attributing to the wealth and power of the owner; each hacienda grew a certain crop depending on its location and yielded large amounts of crops. Shortly after Mexico's independence, the nation fell into economic disarray. However, from 1876 to 1911 Porfirio Díaz came to power as dictator and managed to return the economy back to a strong state with the use of foreign investments and capitalist techniques. During his rule, haciendas were given a face-lift, usually in a neoclassical style which reflected a new national pride. Therefore, haciendas were not necessarily categorized as tall structures, but many were large due to a new found Mexican national confidence that wanted to make the estates grand and ostentatious.
