Ciudad Obregón, Commercial center in Sonora, Mexico
Ciudad Obregón sits in the Yaqui Valley at 36 meters elevation, featuring extensive agricultural lands surrounded by cotton fields and wheat plantations.
The city emerged in 1906 when the South Pacific Railway reached the Yaqui Valley, and received its current name in 1928 after Mexican President Álvaro Obregón.
The Yaqui Museum presents artifacts and exhibits about the indigenous Yaqui people, who maintain eight autonomous towns in the surrounding region.
The Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora provides higher education programs focusing on engineering and technical fields for students across northwestern Mexico.
Norman Borlaug conducted wheat research in Ciudad Obregón's agricultural stations, leading to advances in crop development and farming techniques.
