A settlement on this spot, Aculco, goes back to Toltec times, its name meaning "where the water turns". The village specialized in fruit and vegetable production. When a dam in the area was built in 1934, Toltec remains were found including the slope of a pyramid.

The church of San Jerónimo Aculco dates from the 16th century founded by Franciscans. An open chapel remains. The church was modified in the 18th century. It celebrates its patron saint day on September 30.

In 1943, part of the village changed its name from in commemoration of the massacre at Lidice in what is now the Czech Republic. Each year on June 10, the Lidice massacre is commemorated in the square in front of San Jerónimo church.
