Hermosillo, Capital city in Sonora, Mexico
Hermosillo extends across a desert valley at 700 feet elevation, surrounded by mountains and situated near the confluence of two rivers in northwestern Mexico.
Spanish colonists established the settlement in 1700 on former Indigenous territory, renaming it Hermosillo in 1828 after Mexican independence general José María González.
The Museum of Popular and Indigenous Cultures of Sonora presents regional artifacts, traditional clothing, and documentation of local ethnic groups through permanent exhibitions.
The city connects to major destinations through an international airport and extensive highway network linking to Mexicali, Nogales, Guadalajara, and Mexico City.
The Ford manufacturing plant and numerous maquiladoras transform Hermosillo into an industrial center producing automobiles, electronics, and processed foods for international markets.
