The actual territory of Ciudad
Obregon’s municipality, Cajeme, forms part
of the Yaqui region. The region began to be evangelized
by Jesuit missionaries since 1617.
The municipality of Cajeme has as
municipal heading the city of Obregon. Ciudad
Obregon is located at the south of Sonora by the
fertile and well irrigated Yaqui Valley, and is
then, the agricultural center of the state.
This modern city has its roots in
the villages of Cumuripa, Buenavista, and Cocorti,
back in the 19th Century when cultivation of land
started to develop. Today the region is a showcase
of advanced agricultural techniques and is the
headquarters of one of the finest agricultural
experimental stations for development of new breeds
of crops.
Proud of its past and confident
about its future, Ciudad Obregon awaits with the
proverbial Sonoran hospitality.
