'''Culiacán''' ({{IPA-es|kuljaˈkan}}) is a ceety in northwastren [[Mexico]], the caipital o the state o [[Sinaloa]] as well as the caipital o the [[Culiacán Municipality|municipality o Culiacán]]. Wi 675,773 indwallers in the ceety (census o 2010), an 858,638 in the municipality, it is the lairgest ceety in the state o [[Sinaloa]]. The municipality haes a tot aurie o {{convert|4758|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}.

The ceety is locatit in a valley at the confluence o the [[Tamazula River|Tamazula]] an [[Humaya River]]s, whaur the twa meet tae form the [[Culiacán River]], an is locatit 55 meters abuin sea level. It is locatit in the centre o the state wi amaist equal distance tae the ither urban centers o the state: [[Los Mochis]] tae the north, an [[Mazatlán]] tae the sooth.

==History==

===Pre-colonial period===

Maist fowk gree that the name ''Culiacán'' apparently comes frae the wird ''colhuacan'', which can mean "palace o snakes", but tradeetionally the maist acceptit translation wad be "place o those who adore the creuk god [[Coltzin]]".
Afore the [[Spaniards]] arrivit frae Europe, this steid haed been a smaw Indie dounset syne 628 whan 
[[Amerindians]] haed first foondit it.

===Foundation===
The ceety existin the day wis foondit in 1531 bi the Spainyie captain [[Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán]] an namit ''San Miguel de Culiacán''. In the same decade, it wis the terminus o the lang jurney o [[Cabeza de Vaca]] an company amang natives. Splorer [[Francisco Vásquez de Coronado]] set oot frae Culiacán tae splore what is nou the soothwastren Unitit States. Settlers frae Europe came tae Culiacán, an in the follaein hunderyears, Culiacán continued tae be a quiet toun. It wis anerly efter the federal govrenment biggit dams in the adjacent auries in the 1950s that [[agricultur]] explodit an the ceety began tae grow exponentially. Some o Mexico's lairgest agricultural conglomerates operate in the vast an growthie coastal plains.  The agro-industrial economy continues toaebe the single lairgest contributor tae the region's legal economy.  While the vast majority o technical an skilled labor is eddicatit locally, the ance-seasonal field labor puil nou experiences a yearly shortage o wirkers.  Internaitional patterns o migration nou draw laborers frae deep athin Mexico's sooth tae the northren mairch states an intae the Unitit States.

===Post Warld War II era===

Beginnin in the late 1950s, Culiacán became the birthplace o a incipient [[unnerground economy]] based on illicit drogs exportit tae the Unitit States.  The completion o the [[Pan-American Heich-gate]] an the regional airport in the 1960s acceleratit the expansion o a wirkable distribution infrastructur for the enterprisin few faimilies that wad later come tae dominate the internaitional drog cairtels alang Mexico's Paceefic Northwast.

==Climate==
Culiacán haes a [[semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen-Geiger climate clessification seestem|Köppen]]: BSh), despite receivin a annual rainfaw o ower {{convert|600|mm|in}}, due tae its het temperaturs an heich evaporation. Simmers are vera het an humid, shade temperaturs can reach {{convert|45|C|F|0}} an heich humidy can produce heat indexes o {{convert|50|to|55|C|F}}, wi the risk o hivy rainfaw frae decayin [[tropical cyclone]]s present an aw. Winters are hintle milder wi less humidity an a average heich o 27&nbsp;°C, wi ceul nichts.
