Gómez Palacio, Industrial center in Durango, Mexico.
Located in northeastern Durango state, Gómez Palacio forms part of the Comarca Lagunera Metropolitan Area near the border with Coahuila state.
Santiago Lavín Cuadra established the city's foundation in 1885 by designing blocks around a public square and offering free land for tree planting.
The city maintains strong agricultural traditions with extensive cultivation of cotton, wheat, corn, and various other crops in the surrounding Laguna irrigation district.
The municipality contains 583 localities and connects to major transportation routes through highways, railroads, and air travel facilities linking to neighboring Torreón.
The installation of the Francke power plant in 1930 marked a turning point for the region's industrial development, leading to significant economic growth.
