Guasave, Administrative division in Sinaloa, Mexico.

The city extends across northwestern Mexico, positioned 62 kilometers southeast of Los Mochis and 150 kilometers northeast of Culiacán, the state capital.

Founded in 1595 by Hernando de Villafañe, Guasave developed from a Jesuit mission established as San Pedro y Pablo de Guasave in 1590.

The municipality maintains strong agricultural traditions, earning recognition as the Agricultural Heart of Mexico through extensive farming and irrigation practices.

Mexican Highway Number 15 connects Guasave north to south, while Campo Cuatro Milpas Airport provides regional transportation services for residents.

Archaeological excavations by Gordon Ekholm in the 1940s uncovered Capacha culture artifacts, including polychrome pottery and alabaster vases.
