No, Pacho Villa (born Doroteo Arango) was born in San Juan del Rio,
Durango, Mexico.

Quote: "Overview of Pancho Villa: Pancho Villa was born Doroteo
Arango, the son of a sharecropper at the hacienda in San Juan del Rio,
Durango."
In fact, I can find no evidence that Villa ever even visited Columbia.
Search Strategy (on Google):
* "Doroteo Arango" biography "was born"
* "pancho villa" columbia -encyclopedia -pictures -District
Hope this helps!

There is a lot of controversy of when and where I was born. Pancho
Villas?family origins and early years have been confused by different
and poorly documented informations. There are some theories that
suggest he was actually born in COlombia, South America. Some of
these theories suggest there is no interest to find the true about
the real place where he was born, he is a ?national hero? and it?s
better if mexicans continue to believe this legendary caracter was in
fact mexican. I tried to find more information about it on the
internet but my attempts have failed.

I'm sorry you were so unsatisfied with my response. Like you, I was
not able to find any collaboration to this "controversy" on the
Internet.
I wish you luck.

I found an article (in Spanish) in El Tiempo (Newspaper) from
Colombia where they are interviewing Pancho Villa?s granddaughters,
Rosa Helia and Guadalupe, and when they were asked about this
particular issue their answer was that they do not for sure. The
interview took place February 26, 2005 in Bogota-Colombia. I cannot
find a translation. I am sorry you could not help me this time. Thank
you very much!
From El Tiempo :
Qué tan cierto es que Villa nació en Colombia?
Es otro de sus misterios.(THIS IS A MISTERY) No podemos dar ni un sí
ni un no definitivo. (WE DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE) Pero hay una carta que
le mandaron al general Álvaro Obregón, donde le dicen que por favor le
haga llegar a Villa saludos de una persona de Caldas, en Colombia,
porque de esa región era el general. (EL TIEMPO COLOMBIA)

I have nothing to do with you requesting a refund - so my confirmation
