Avenue Walk of the Reformation is one of the most important in Mexico City (CDMX) with a length of 14.7 kilometers runs from the west to the north of the territory, passing through areas such as Santa Fe, the Historic Center reaching the beginnings of the Calzada de Guadalupe and Calzada de los Misterios.

It was originally known as Paseo de la Empress or Paseo del Emperadorsince the initial section was carried out at the request of Maximilian I of Mexico during the Second Mexican EmpireHowever, after the victory of Benito Juárez, it was renamed Paseo Degollado, in honor of Santos Degollado.

It was up to the government of Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada when it came to have its current name, since he baptized it in honor of the process known as the Reform. It has been part of great historical events, as well as being used for demonstrations, celebrations and even concerts.

In previous days it became relevant after a sales company named the Colonia Morelos What North reform, this in order to raise the prices of the departments it offers. Since that name does not officially exist in CDMX, the term caused controversy among users upon learning of this situation.

However, in addition to making up the name, his idea was completely wrong since the Bravo neighborhood of Tepito, where the apartments offered are located, could not be considered as the northern part of Reforma, since despite being close, it is not directly connected to the popular avenue. It is located in the north-eastern part of the Cuauhtémoc mayor’s officebut a historic neighborhood is an intermediary so that Walk of the Reformation have no connection with Tepito.

There are three colonies that are to the north of the emblematic avenue, being Tlatelolco and Guerrero on the north-west side and Morelos on the north-east.

Even in a stricter sense, the apartment complex located on Calle de Gorostiza has more to do with the axis 2 Norththan with Reform.

The name of North reform that they granted caused criticism for being something that does not exist as such, since no neighborhood or neighborhood has that distinctive, although a denomination could be taken for the northern zone of Walk of the Reformation. In addition to pointing out that the company did not want to mention that its complexes were located in the Barrio Bravo de Tepito, an emblematic place of the CDMX but which has earned a bad reputation regarding crime.

The origin of the enigmatic neighborhood dates back to pre-Hispanic times, being one of the borders of Tenochtitlan and Tlatelolco, being one of the last neighborhoods to be colonized due to its opposition to the arrival of the Spanish. The area ended up being controlled by the original Tlatelolcos, taking the name of San Francisco Teocaltepiton

Its history has not been limited to its historical origin, but to the memory of a sector of the population that has been ignored for years by the authorities and that found a way to earn a living, selling all kinds of products in a tianguis in the streets of the Morelos colony.

Now it could be looking for its restructuring to stop being forgotten with the gentrification that has been sought, although people have already made it clear that it can be known by another name other than Tepito, much less can it be replaced by one like North reform.
