Message from the Mayor of Guaymas |
|
 GuaymasGuaymas (gwī'mäs) [key], city (1990 pop. 87,484), Sonora state, NW Mexico, on the bay of Guaymas. A port on the Gulf of California, it is also the outlet for Hermosillo. Guaymas stands on a scenic inlet girt by desert mountains. Its fine beaches, excellent deep-sea fishing, and transportation facilities have made it a popular tourist resort. In addition to its role as a commercial center for the surrounding region, Guaymas has a substantial fishing industry. Although the surrounding area was explored as early as 1539, the city was not established until the early 18th cent. by Jesuit missionaries. U.S. forces occupied Guaymas in 1846, during the Mexican War, and it was held by the French in 1865–66.

Guaymas Description |
|
As a port along the Pacific coast of Mexico, Guaymas has experienced a colorful past. Though sixteenth century explorations visited the bay and harbor, Guaymas was not settled until the early eighteenth century. In the mid-eighteen hundreds, U.S. Naval forces attacked and occupied the city for several months. Subsequently, a french count and a band of pirates attempted to seize the city shortly after an American by the name of William Walker tried to found a western empire using Guaymas as the base. Shells from the delicious oysters native to the area have been the source for much of the land bordering the bay. Towering denuded mountains of distinctive shapes surround the bay and add to the picturesque setting. Anglers from all over the world converge on Guaymas to participate in fishing tournaments and pursue the bill fish catch in the Sea of Cortes.
