History
At the time of Spanish contact, the area of what is now Genaro Codina was populated by the Zacateco people. In 1542, the settlement of San José de la Ysla (or Isla) was founded. Tlaxcalan colonists joined the settlement in 1591.[7]
After independence, San José de la Ysla formed part of the partido or district of Zacatecas in the state of the same name. Its municipal government (junta municipal) was first established on 29 October 1833. It dropped the "San" from its name in 1935, becoming known as José de la Isla. It adopted its present name beginning on 1 January 1958, in honour of the composer of the Zacatecan state anthem. A health centre was inaugurated in Genaro Codina in 1964, and electricity and water services followed in 1971.[7][8]
