Conquistador Pedro Alvarado and his brother Gonzalo de Alvarado conquered the territory of modern El Salvador (colonial San Salvador) from 1524-1526 in the name of Spanish Crown. As for the city of San Salvador itself, Gonzalo de Alvarado and Diego de Holguín began to develop it a ruined settlement near Cuzcatlán (a native Salvadorian settlement). Diego de Holguín became the first mayor of San Salvador after the town was founded on April 1, 1525.
