History
Tamahú was established on 7 December 1574 by friars Francisco de Viana, Lucas Gallego and Fray Guillermo.[1]
One of the most powerful German families that settled in the region by the end of the 19th century was the Thomae family, who had their headquarters in neighbor Purulhá. Mauricio Thomae's early farmland were the following haciendas:[2]
| Year | Hacienda | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1882 | Cubilgüitz | Cobán |
| 1889 | San Isidro | Purulhá |
| 1897 | Comija | Tamahú |
| 1897 | Popabaj | Tucurú |
| 1900 | Nueve Aguas | Purulhá |
| 1902 | Panzal | Purulhá |
| 1902 | Rocjá | Tamahú |
| 1902 | Paijá | Tucurú |
| 1905 | Chimox | Tucurú[2] |
Years later, during Jorge Ubico's presidency (1931-1944), Thomae went on to become one of the most influential landlords in the German Verapaz, along with the Sarg, Sapper and Diesseldorf families. Ubico had been governor of Cobán during Manuel Estrada Cabrera 22-year regime and befriended several German families, including the Thomaes.[2]
