Influences converged during the 1960s and early 1970s to launch Puerto Vallarta into its trajectory toward becoming a major resort destination with world class hotels. First the federal government finally resolved century old property disputes involving the status of communal land in Puerto Vallarta originally appropriated from the Union en Cuale mining company to be parceled out as farms. The communal (ejido) status of the land had stifled development in Puerto Vallarta for much of the 20th century. The transition to private ownership of much of the land within present city limits of Puerto Vallarta culminated in the appropriation of much of the land in 1973 and the establishment of the Vallarta Land Trust (Fideicomiso) to oversee selling the land (mostly for hotels and resorts) and using the revenue to develop the city’s infrastructure.
