September 15th to October 15th is designated as National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States. September 15th was chosen because it is the independence day for El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras, and the independence days of Mexico and Chile fall on September 16 and September 18, respectively.
