La Noria is recorded in multiple documentary contexts as a Spanish toponym meaning "the well." Sources in the provided set place the name within Hidalgo state, including references that connect Rancho La Noria and specimen localities to Pachuca and Real del Monte. An onomastics study lists La Noria among common Spanish-derived place-names in areas of cultural contact in Mexico. An ethnographic/genealogical excerpt records that in 1886 a small number of Cotoname people were living at La Noria Ranch in southern Hidalgo County, indicating the name's presence in late 19th-century regional accounts. Botanical and herpetological specimen records from the mid-20th century also use "Rancho La Noria" and "Pachuca y Real del Monte" as locality descriptors, showing the toponym's use in scientific collecting. The supplied materials do not provide a consolidated local history (construction dates, ownership lineage, or notable events) specific to a single, precisely located site named La Noria in Real del Monte. The documentary occurrences instead demonstrate the toponym's persistence across archival, ethnographic, and scientific sources, while leaving exact geographic coordinates and present-day status undetermined from these excerpts.
