31st federal electoral district of the Federal District

Former federal electoral districts of MexicoMexico City

The 31st federal electoral district of the Federal District (Distrito electoral federal 31 del Distrito Federal) is a defunct federal electoral district of Mexico. Occupying a portion of what is today Mexico City, it was in existence from 1978 to 1996. During that time, it returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system, electing its first in the 1979 mid-terms and its last in the 1994 general election. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions. The 31st to 40th districts were abolished in the Federal Electoral Institute's 1996 redistricting process because the capital's population no longer warranted that number of seats in Congress.

Colonia Valle Gómez

Colonia Valle Gómez is a colonia or neighborhood in the Venustiano Carranza borough of Mexico City, just north of the city’s historic center. The boundaries of the colonia are marked by the following streets:H.Congreso de la Unión to the east, Ferrocarril Hidalgo to the west, Río Consulado to the north and Platino Street to the south. Schools include Campanitas Preschool (public), Cendi Gdf Mapimi Primary (public), Centro de Estudios Tecnologicos Manchester Technical School (private), Cideco Preschool (private), Felipe Carrillo Puerto Primary (public), and Joaquin Miranda Carreon Primary (private).The colonia was founded in 1894 when Modesto del Valle and Rafael B. Gomez decided to subdivide the land for housing, using their surnames to name the new development. Prior to then, the land was part of an area known as Potrero de la Villa. Legal problems arose with the development as half of the land was located in the Mexico City municipality and the other in the jurisdiction of Guadalupe Hidalgo (or La Villa). For many years, the Mexico City council did not acknowledge the existence of the colonia. Neighboring Colonia Felipe Pescador and Colonia Maza, also owned by Valle and Gómez, had similar problems. Today, the main issue in this and neighboring colonias is crime, with neighborhood groups pressing the city for more police services and security cameras. The most common crimes include muggings, auto theft, prostitution, and corruption.
