The Battle of San Felipe del Obraje took place on August 8, 1861 in Loma de Jalpa near the town of San Felipe del Obraje in the
State of Mexico,
Mexico, between elements of the liberal army, under the command of General
Jesús González Ortega and elements of the conservative army during the
Reform War. Although technically the war had ended with the victory of the Liberals and the entry of
Benito Juárez to the capital, conservatives were trying to form strength to somehow be able to beat the Liberals. The victory corresponded to the liberal side, so that conservatives were dispersed in
Xalatlaco.
