León Municipality
León Municipality, Administrative division in Guanajuato, Mexico
León Municipality covers a large area in central Guanajuato, taking in both urban and rural zones with varying landscapes and terrain. The administrative territory connects different communities through a network of roads and local pathways.
Settlement of the territory began in 1576 when a Spanish expedition arrived. This early founding laid the groundwork for the region's development.
The region holds a strong tradition in leather work, with workshops and factories visible throughout the area. Shoe and leather goods production has been a defining feature of daily life here for generations.
The territory is easy to explore thanks to well-developed roads and highways that link different communities. Visitors will also find bicycle paths offering alternative routes through various areas.
The area contains archaeological sites linked to the Chupícuaro culture from Mesoamerican times. These remains show that people settled here long before Spanish arrival.
