The neighborhood was founded while Rodolfo López de Nava was governor of Morelos (1952-1958).[28] A group of citizens from Ahuatepec, led by Enedino and Salvador Montiel Barona, (from the family of General es:Antonio Barona Rojas), supported by lawyer Cristobal Rojas, fought to regain communal lands that had been stolen from them. Although the communalists feared Governor López de Nava, they had secured the support of former president Lázaro Cárdenas, and they managed to seize control of the land.[28] Enedino Montiel Barona was later assassinated.[28][29]

The city′s first slaughterhouse was located in Carolina.[34]
During the 19th century, the street where the market is located was called "Calzada de las Fábricas", because three factories distilled aguardiente (firewater). One factory-owner had a daughter named "Carolina", hence the name of the distillery and the neighborhood. A second distillery, called "El Rancho" was owned by Ramón del Portillo y Gómez, who also owned the haciendas of Buena Vista, Chiconcuac, El Puente, and Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (in Emiliano Zapata. Agustín Robalo, owner of the hacienda San Luis Obispo, owned the distillery called "San Sabino", which is located where the bus terminal Transportes Estrella Blanca is located today. All 34 aguardiente and 14 mezcal distilleries, as well as the haciendas that supported them, fell into disuse during the Mexican Revolution.[36]
"La Leona" cemetery was built on land donated by Eugenio de Jesús Cañas (1848-1923), the owner of "Rancho Atzingo."[36] The cemetery contains the final resting place for many, both rich and poor, but the best-known tomb is the Casa de los Espejos. An American named "Bob" built the tomb for his beautiful wife in 1930; he covered the walls and ceiling with mirrors so she could appreciate her beauty forever. Bob eventually disappeared, and legend says that the tomb is haunted.[34]
Eugenio de Jesús Cañas also constructed a dam and the first electrical turbine in Cuernavaca in the Barranca Leona (English: Leona Ravine) near El Centenario Street. Ruins of the "Dínamo Viejo" can still be seen from the Centenario Bridge today.[36]
The Carolina Cultural Center is called Los Chocolates because it is located in front of what was once the terminal for the bus line of that name.
Next to the cemetery is the Miguel Alemán baseball park. Many generations of families learned to play the sport here, but over the years the park hs also hosted musical groups such as El Tri, Zoé, Timbiriche, OV7, Burbujas, and the clown Cepillín. Fans have witnessed Lucha Libre (freestyle wrestling) shows with El Hijo del Santo, Blue Demon, Mil Máscaras, El Perro Aguayo, and Tinieblas.[34] The stadium was used as a testing center during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.

Tlaltenango was originally a Tlahuica settlement; in 1523 it became the site of conquistador Hernán Cortés's first hacienda.[85] The hacienda soon became a commercial center for gold, silver, and cloth along the Mexico City-Acapulco trade route.[85]
The Chapel of San José, built in 1523, is said to be the oldest church on the American continent. Legend has it that on August 30, 1720, a priest and the mayor found a chest belonging to Doña Agustina Andrade. When the chest was opened andreturned to its owner, they found a small statue of the Virgin Mary inside. The statue performed several miracles, and the Santuario de la Virgen de los Milagros was built adjacent to the San José chapel in 1730.[86][87] The bell tower was built from 1882 to 1884 and holds one of the largest bells in Morelos.[88] A mural featuring Hernán Cortés, Emiliano Zapata, and the Virgin was painted by Roberto Martínez in the atrium of the church in 1982.[85]
The chapel of San José was built to serve the religious needs of upper-class Peninsulars and Criollos; further north the church of San Jerónimo was built to evangelize the indigenous people.[89]
Since 1720, a street fair has been held from August 30 to September 11; Avenida Emiliano Zapata is closed and hundreds of merchants sell their wares.[90] General Emiliano Zapata donated a silver and gold crown to the statue of Our Lady of Miracles during the fair on September 8, 1914, while the city was under siege.
