Things You May Not Know About Hispanic Heritage Month
- Hispanic Heritage Month starts on September 15th for a reason. September 15 is the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico’s independence day comes just one day later on September 16th, and Chile’s falls on September 18th.
- Plenty of “American” traditions originated from Hispanic culture. Many pieces of standard “American” culture were imported from south of the border. For example, the cowboy hat, rodeos, and ranching are all from Spain and Mexico. Several state names like Montana, Colorado, and Nevada come from Spanish words. Even barbeque originated from the intersection of Spanish and Caribbean traditions! (Hint: the word barbecue comes from the Spanish barbacoa.
