Prior to 1924, the city was named Cajeme after a celebrated Yaqui chief popular in the late nineteenth century. It was then named after Alvaro Obregon, a revolutionary hero who vied with Pancho Villa for Mexico's leadership reins in a dramatic "Race to the Capital" - each with their respective army.
Today's Ciudad Obregon is an important agri-commercial center due to the extent of the industrial crop farming in the area. Grain elevators, storage silos and cotton mills form part of the region's landscape. |
