Itagüí, Industrial municipality in Aburrá Valley, Colombia.

Itagüí extends across 17 square kilometers of the Antioquia Department at 1,550 meters elevation, forming part of the Medellín metropolitan area.

The municipality, established in 1743 and named after an indigenous chief Bitagüí, received its first telegraph connection in 1876 with a message to President Reccared.

The House of Culture Diego Echavarría Misas and Museum Graciliano Arcila Vélez present local art collections and host regular cultural exhibitions throughout the year.

Four metro stations connect Itagüí with Medellín, while the Municipal Administrative Center manages local services for its 287,981 residents.

Auteco opened Colombia's first motorcycle assembly plant in Itagüí during 1962, initiating the region's industrial development.
