Gómez Palacio Municipality, Administrative division in Durango, Mexico.
Gómez Palacio Municipality is an administrative region in northeastern Durango bordering Coahuila, containing roughly 580 smaller towns and settlements spread across the area. The region includes several industrial parks with manufacturing facilities that serve as the economic backbone.
The area originated from a large estate in the seventeenth century under regional control. The transformation into a modern industrial region began in the nineteenth century with the construction of factories and water systems.
The area is defined by its manufacturing work and factory culture visible throughout. Daily life here reflects the industrial heritage through the many production facilities that shape the community.
The region is accessible by road connecting the main towns, though distances between settlements can be quite large. The cooler months offer more comfortable conditions for visiting and exploring the area.
An irrigation system built in the nineteenth century made farming possible in this dry region. This network of canals and water channels still shapes how the land is used today.
