Jiquilpan is the birthplace of two presidents of the republic: Anastasio Bustamante, who served as President on three occasions in the mid-19th century; and also of one of the most popular presidents of Mexico, Lázaro Cárdenas.
Jiquilpan is the birthplace of Damián Alcázar, actor and movie director, who was in the films El crimen del padre Amaro, La Ley de Herodes, and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, among others. The city is also the birthplace of trumpet virtuoso Rafael Méndez.

In the year 2000, the population was 25,778, but estimates can reach as high as 50,000 when seasonal migrant laborers come and stay there.
