Uriangato, Textile manufacturing center in Guanajuato, Mexico

Uriangato lies at an elevation of 1810 meters, forming a metropolitan zone with neighboring cities Moroleon and Yuriria in western Guanajuato state.

The Spanish crown established San Miguel de Uriangato on February 20, 1604, under King Felipe III's mandate and Fray Diego de Chavez's supervision.

The October festival features decorated street carpets, while the textile industry produces traditional Mexican garments including rebozos, sweaters, and blouses.

The city maintains a population of 52,156 residents with 99 percent coverage of basic services including electricity and water infrastructure.

The name originates from Purhepecha indigenous language, reflecting the pre-Hispanic heritage of this region before Spanish colonization.
