Etymology
editThere are two hypotheses about the origin of the place name. The first is due to Spanish Manuel de Clemente y Fermín, one of the first inhabitants and owner of the lands of Valle Hondo. The second, Don Fermín took possession of the lands of Valle Hondo (El Dique and its surroundings) and that he had many children and these in turn were watering the surname for the sector.[1]
