U travnju 1518. na otok (San Juan de Ulúa) u blizini obale iskrcao se Juan de Grijalva, a 22. travnja 1519. Hernan Cortes iskrcao se na plažu Chalchihuecan gdje je osnovao selo ujedno i prvo kolonijalno naselje u Meksiku, koje mu je kasnije poslužilo kao polazište na osvajačke pohode prema unutrašnjosti. Bilo je to na Veliki Petak, znan i kao dan La Vera Cruz (prijevod: dan "pravog križa", što se odnosi na obred Klanjanja Kristovu križu) te od tuda naziv La Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz, od čega je kasnije proizašao naziv pokrajine.
