'''ProgressoProgreso''' (officially: '''Progreso de Obregón''') is a community and one of the 84 [[municipalities of Hidalgo]], in central-eastern [[Mexico]], located at 20°15′00″N 99°11′00″W. The municipality covers an area of {{convert|106|km2}}.

Progreso de Obregón used to be part of the municipality of [[Mixquiahuala|Mixquiahuala de JuarezJuárez]]. It started as a small village next to the [[Tula River]] called La Salitrera, but due to constant flooding, the villagers looked up for higher ground and established a new village called La Venta in 1826. Thanks to its ___location (just in the middle of Valle del Mezquital), La Venta became an important economic center and the village grew. After a visit by president Alvaro[[Álvaro ObregonObregón]] the town changed its name to Progreso de ObregonObregón.

On January 15, 1970, Progreso de ObregonObregón emancipated from Mixquiahuala and became a municipality of its own.

As of 2005, the municipality had a total population of 4,630.<ref>{{cite web|title=Progreso |url=http://www.e-local.gob.mx/work/templates/enciclo/hidalgo/municipios/13050a.htm|work=Enciclopedia de los Municipios de México|publisher=[[Instituto Nacional para el Federalismo y el Desarrollo Municipal]]|accessdate=December 27, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070405082812/http://www.e-local.gob.mx/work/templates/enciclo/hidalgo/municipios/13050a.htm|archive-date=April 5, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref>
