Jalisco State Highway 404 is an approximately 18.7 Kilometer highway located between Zacoalco de Torres and Ciudad Guzmán. The highway begins at Jalisco State Highway 401 near El Zapote and terminates to the east in the heart of the town of Teocuitatlán de Corona. The construction of Jalisco State Highway 404 appears to have been built concurrent with that of Federal Highway 54D in southern Jalisco during the late 1980s.

What is now Teocuitatlán de Corona (originally Teocuitatlán) was located in the foothills of the Sierra del Tigre which were home to the Tzaullan. The area was visited by Spanish Captain Juan Alavarez in 1521 and community was officially annexed by 1523. The community was listed among the many free towns listed when a census was taken by the then new State of Jalisco in 1825 (the State was founded in 1823). The Teocuitatlán town council was established in October 1844. Later in 1890 the community would be officially renamed as Teocuitatlán de Corona in honor of Mexican General Ramón Corona.
The Teocuitatlán de Corona Municipality is spread out over an area of 334.4 square Kilometers. The Municipality includes the neighboring community outside of the Teocuitatlán de Corona town site.
Prior to the Jalisco State Highway System, the town of Teocuitatlán de Corona appears to have been fairly isolated. The community is shown to be primary connected to Zacoalco de Torres by a road through El Crucero de San Isidro on the 1922 Direccion de Estudios Geografícos y Climatologicos map of Jalisco.
