Names are a standard way governments commemorate people and events. Many towns and cities of Mexico recall the revolution. In Mexico City, there are ''delegaciones'' (boroughs) named for Álvaro Obregón, Venustiano Carranza, and [[Gustavo A. Madero]], brother of murdered president. There is a portion of the old colonial street Calle de los Plateros leading to the main square [[zócalo]] of the capital named Francisco I. Madero.

The [[Mexico City Metro]] has stations commemorating aspects of the Revolution and the revolutionary era. When it opened in 1969, with line 1 (the "Pink Line"), two stations alluded to the revolution. Most directly referencing the Revolution was [[Metro Pino Suárez]], named after [[Francisco I. Madero]]'s vice president, who was murdered with him in February 1913. There is no Metro stop named for Madero. The other was [[Metro Balderas]], whose icon is a cannon, alluding to the Ciudadela armory where the coup against Madero was launched. In 1970, [[Metro Revolución]] opened, with the station at the [[Monumento a la Revolución|Monument to the Revolution]]. As the Metro expanded, further stations with names from the revolutionary era opened. In 1980, two popular heroes of the Revolution were honored, with [[Metro Zapata]] explicitly commemorating the peasant revolutionary from Morelos. A sideways commemoration was [[Metro División del Norte]], named after the Army that [[Pancho Villa]] commanded until its demise in the [[Battle of Celaya]] in 1915. The year 1997 saw the opening of the [[Metro Lázaro Cárdenas]] station. In 1988, [[Metro Aquiles Serdán]] honors the first martyr of the Revolution [[Aquiles Serdán]]. In 1994, [[Metro Constitución de 1917]] opened, as did [[Metro Garibaldi]], named after the grandson of Italian fighter for independence, [[Giuseppi Garibaldi]]. The grandson had been a participant in the Mexican Revolution. In 1999, the radical anarchist [[Ricardo Flores Magón]] was honored with the [[Metro Ricardo Flores Magón]] station. Also opening in 1999 was [[Metro Romero Rubio]], named after the leader of [[Porfirio Díaz]]'s [[Científico]]s, whose daughter Carmen Romero Rubio became Díaz's second wife.<ref>Perhaps enough time had passed since the Revolution and Romero Rubio was just a name with no historical significance to ordinary Mexicans. In 2000, the [[Institutional Revolutionary Party]] lost the presidential election to the candidate of the [[National Action Party (Mexico)|National Action Party]].</ref> In 2012, a new Metro line opened with a [[Metro Hospital 20 de Noviembre]] stop, a hospital named after the date that Madero set in 1910 for rebellion against Díaz. There are no Metro stops named for revolutionary generals and presidents of Mexico, Carranza, Obregón, or Calles, and only an oblique reference to Villa in [[Metro División del Norte]].
