Guasave, Administrative division in Sinaloa, Mexico.
Description

History
The region was founded in 1595 by Hernando de Villafañe and grew from a Jesuit mission established in 1590 as San Pedro y Pablo. This early spiritual presence shaped how the settlement developed over many generations.
Culture
The area is known for farming and is called the Agricultural Heart of Mexico because of how central this work is to local life. Irrigation systems and crops shape the landscape and how people spend their days.
