== History == Tlachichila was founded as a hacienda in 1711 in the center of several farming communities within the municipality of Nochistlán de Mejia. Construction of a Catholic church in the town's center began in 1875 under the Archbishop of Guadalajara, Pedro José de Jesús Loza y Pardavé. The church's construction ended in 1901, though the parish was not formally established until January 25, 1922, with Augustine of Hippo as its patron saint.
