Ahome, Administrative municipality in Sinaloa, Mexico.

The municipality of Ahome spans 4,342 square kilometers across the Pacific coastal plain at the entrance of the Gulf of California in northwestern Sinaloa.

The establishment of Mission Santa María Ahome in 1605 by Jesuit missionaries under Andrés Pérez de Ribas marked the beginning of European presence in this region.

The municipal council of Ahome implements programs that integrate both indigenous traditions and Spanish colonial influences through local festivals and community gatherings.

Los Mochis, the municipal seat of Ahome, functions as a central hub for administrative services and connects to major transportation routes across northwestern Mexico.

The Fort Valley agricultural zone within Ahome produces substantial crops due to its position between the Gulf of California and the Pacific coastal plains.
