Aconchi is located 15 km away
from Baviacora. In Prehispanic times, this territory
was inhabited by Opata natives.
The name “Aconchi” comes from Opata
roots, and means “on the walls.”
It was a Mission founded in 1639 by the Jesuit
Bartolome Castaños who dedicated it to
Saint Peter and named it San Pedro de Aconchi.
In the XIX century, Aconchi was administrated
by a dependent judge of Arizpe’s party.
