'''Sinaloa''' ({{IPA |
'''Sinaloa''' ({{IPA|es|sinaˈloa|-|Sinaloa.ogg}}), officially the '''{{lang|es|Estado Libre y Soberano de Sinaloa}}''' ({{langx|en|Free and Sovereign State of Sinaloa}}), is one of the 31 states which, along with [[Mexico City]], compose the [[Administrative divisions of Mexico|Federal Entities]] of [[Mexico]]. It is divided into [[Municipalities of Sinaloa|18 municipalities]], and its capital city is [[Culiacán|Culiacán Rosales]]. |

==Etymology== |
|||
''Sinaloa'' combines two words from the [[Cahita language]]: {{lang|mfy|sina}} ('[[pithaya]] plant'), and {{lang|mfy|lobola}} ('rounded'); "sinalobola" was shortened to "sinaloa".<ref>[https://www.nps.gov/cham/learn/historyculture/sinaloa.htm Sinaloa, National Park Service]</ref> This most popular etymology is attributed to [[Eustaquio Buelna]]. Another etymology attributed to Pablo Lizárraga is Mexica ''cintli'' ('dry corn and cob') and ''ololoa'' ('to pile up'), and to locative, "where they pile up or store corn on the cob." Yet another etymology from Héctor R. Olea combinsa Cahia ''sina'' with the locative "ro" from the [[Purépecha language]] and "a" from Aztec ''atl'' ('water'), thus "place of pithayas in the water.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sinaloa.gob.mx/NR/exeres/B1FB61DE-82E5-4EE7-AE7E-851D47307AF3,frameless.htm?NRMODE=Published|title=Municipio de Sinaloa de Leyva|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070716221737/http://www.sinaloa.gob.mx/NR/exeres/B1FB61DE-82E5-4EE7-AE7E-851D47307AF3,frameless.htm?NRMODE=Published|archivedate=16 July 2007|accessdate=4 May 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> |

After the [[Mexican War of Independence |
After the [[Mexican War of Independence]], Sinaloa was joined with Sonora as [[Estado de Occidente]], but became a separate, sovereign state in 1830.<ref name=":1" /> The [[Porfiriato]] era was marked by the administration of Francisco Cañedo, who served multiple non-consecutive terms from 1877 to 1909. After the [[Mexican Revolution]], infrastructure projects and land reform consolidated the agrarian sector, which led to the state being named "the granary of Mexico".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Carton de Grammont |first=Hubert |url=http://ru.iis.sociales.unam.mx/handle/IIS/4944 |title=Los empresarios agrícolas y el Estado: Sinaloa 1893-1984 |date=1990 |language=es |access-date=2022-08-25 |archive-date=2021-06-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210621013648/http://ru.iis.sociales.unam.mx/handle/IIS/4944 |url-status=live }}</ref> |

Sinaloa (Spanish pronunciation: [sinaˈloa] ), officially the Estado Libre y Soberano de Sinaloa (English: Free and Sovereign State of Sinaloa), is one of the 31 states which, along with Mexico City, compose the Federal Entities of Mexico. It is divided into 18 municipalities, and its capital city is Culiacán Rosales.
It is located in northwest Mexico and is bordered by the states of Sonora to the north, Chihuahua and Durango to the east (separated from them by the Sierra Madre Occidental), and Nayarit to the south. To the west, Sinaloa faces Baja California Sur, across the Gulf of California. The state covers an area of 58,328 square kilometers (22,521 sq mi) and includes the islands of Palmito Verde, Palmito de la Virgen, Altamura, Santa María, Saliaca, Macapule, and San Ignacio. In addition to the capital city, the state's important cities include Mazatlán and Los Mochis.
Etymology
[edit]Sinaloa combines two words from the Cahita language: sina ('pithaya plant'), and lobola ('rounded'); "sinalobola" was shortened to "sinaloa".[8] This most popular etymology is attributed to Eustaquio Buelna. Another etymology attributed to Pablo Lizárraga is Mexica cintli ('dry corn and cob') and ololoa ('to pile up'), and to locative, "where they pile up or store corn on the cob." Yet another etymology from Héctor R. Olea combinsa Cahia sina with the locative "ro" from the Purépecha language and "a" from Aztec atl ('water'), thus "place of pithayas in the water.[9]
History
[edit]Sinaloa belongs to the northern limit of Mesoamerica. From the Fuerte River to the north is the region known as Aridoamerica, which includes the deserts and arid places of northern Mexico and southwestern United States. Before European contact, the territory of Sinaloa was inhabited by groups such as the Cahitas, the Tahues, the Acaxees, the Xiximes, the Totorames, the Achires and the Guasaves.[10]
In 1531, Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán, with a force of over 10,000 men, established a Spanish and allied Indian outpost at San Miguel de Culiacán. Over the next decade, the Cahíta suffered severe depopulation from conquest, smallpox and other diseases brought by Europeans.[11]
The Spanish organized Sinaloa as part of the gobierno of Nueva Galicia. In 1564, the area was realigned: the area of Culiacán and Cosalá remained in control of Nueva Galicia, while the areas to the north, south and west were made part of the newly formed Nueva Vizcaya province, making the Culiacán area an exclave of Nueva Galicia. The first capital of Nueva Vizcaya was located in San Sebastián, near Copala, but was moved to Durango in 1583.[12]
Starting in 1599, Jesuit missionaries spread out from a base at what is now Sinaloa de Leyva and by 1610, the Spanish influence had been extended to the northern edge of Sinaloa. In 1601, the Jesuits' movement into the eastern part of Sinaloa led to the Acaxee going to war. The Spanish eventually managed to reassert authority in the Sierra Madre Occidental region and executed 48 Acaxee leaders.[13]
After the Mexican War of Independence, Sinaloa was joined with Sonora as Estado de Occidente, but became a separate, sovereign state in 1830.[11] The Porfiriato era was marked by the administration of Francisco Cañedo, who served multiple non-consecutive terms from 1877 to 1909. After the Mexican Revolution, infrastructure projects and land reform consolidated the agrarian sector, which led to the state being named "the granary of Mexico".[14]
Geography
[edit]The coastal plain is a narrow strip of land that stretches along the length of the state and lies between the Gulf of California and the foothills of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range, which dominates the eastern part of the state. Sinaloa is traversed by many rivers, which carve broad valleys into the foothills. The largest of these rivers are the Culiacán, Fuerte, and Sinaloa.[15]
Sinaloa has a warm climate on the coast; moderately warm climate in the valleys and foothills; moderately cold in the lower mountains, and cold in the higher elevations. Its weather characteristics vary from subtropical and tropical, found on coastal plains, to cold in the nearby mountains. Temperatures range from 22 °C (72 °F) to 43 °C (109 °F) with rain and thunderstorms during the rainy season (June to October) and dry conditions throughout most of the year. Its average annual precipitation is 790 millimetres.[16]
Numerous species of plants and animals are found within Sinaloa. Notable among the tree species is the elephant tree, Bursera microphylla.[17]

According to the 2020 census, Sinaloa is home to 3,026,943 inhabitants, 60% of whom reside in the capital city of Culiacán and the municipalities of Mazatlán and Ahome. It is a young state in terms of population, 56% of which is younger than 30 years of age.[18]
Other demographic particulars report 87% of the state practices the Catholic faith. Also, 1% of those over five years of age speak an indigenous language alongside Spanish; the main indigenous ethnic group residing in the state is the Mayo or "Yoreme" (Cáhita language) people. Life expectancy in the state follows the national tendency of higher rates for women than men, a difference of almost six years in the case of Sinaloa, at 74.2 and 68.3 years respectively.[19]
In ethnic composition, Sinaloa has received large historic waves of immigration from Europe (mainly Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia) and Asia (namely China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Armenia, Lebanon, and Syria). The last two countries also make up most of the Arab Mexican community in the state. In recent years, retirees from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and South America have arrived and made Sinaloa their home.[20]
There was also a sizable influx of Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews in the first decades of the twentieth century.
Greeks form a notable presence in Sinaloa, where one can find local cuisine with kalamari and a few Greek Orthodox churches along the state's coast.[21]
According to the 2020 Census, 1.39% of Sinaloa's population identified as Black, Afro-Mexican, or having African descent.[22]
Sinaloenses have moved to the United States in large numbers since 1970; a large community lives in the twin towns of Indio, California and Coachella, California about 25 miles east of the resort city of Palm Springs, California in the Colorado Desert of Southern California.
