Historical nomenclature

The forerunner of the modern-day SCT was created in 1891 under President Porfirio DÃÂaz and was known as the Secretariat of Communications (SecretarÃÂa de Comunicaciones); its first incumbent as secretary was Manuel GonzÃÂ¡lez CosÃÂo. In 1920 it was renamed to the Secretariat of Communications and Public Works (SecretarÃÂa de Comunicaciones y Obras PÃÂºblicas; "SCOP"). In 1959, it changed names to Secretariat of Communications and Transportation, and finally, in 2019, it added Infrastructure to its name, to encompass and highlight one of its sub-organs, the SubsecretarÃÂa de Infraestructura..
