San Quintín, Agricultural municipality on Pacific Coast, Baja California, Mexico
San Quintín extends over 32,883 square kilometers along the Pacific Coast, comprising eight administrative divisions and multiple urban localities with 117,568 inhabitants.
British investors established a wheat colony in the 1880s, constructing a gristmill and railway, but the settlement failed due to persistent drought conditions.
The local radio station XEQIN-AM broadcasts programs in three indigenous languages: Mixtec, Zapotec, and Triqui, serving the regional agricultural communities.
Federal Highway 1 connects San Quintín to major cities, while the surrounding farms produce organic berries and maintain extensive oyster cultivation operations.
The remnants of the 19th-century English settlement, including a gristmill, railway causeway, pier, and cemetery, remain visible around the inner bay area.
