Celaya Municipality, Administrative division in Guanajuato, Mexico
The municipality of Celaya encompasses 553 square kilometers of land in the southeastern part of Guanajuato state, including the main city and several communities.
The municipality developed from its founding in 1570 by Martín Enríquez de Almanza, originally named Villa de la Purisíma Concepción de Zalaya, reflecting its Basque origins.
The production of cajeta, a traditional milk-based confection, represents a central element of local gastronomy and economic activities in the municipality.
The municipal government provides citizen services through its administrative offices, handling property taxes, public safety matters, and community development programs.
The Ball of Water, a German-manufactured spherical water tower from 1908, stands as a primary municipal infrastructure landmark in downtown Celaya.
