Guanajuato

State of central Mexico; area 30,589 sq km/11,810 sq mi; population (2000 est) 4,656,800. It lies in the central plateau area of Mexico, at an average height of 1,830 m/6,000 ft. Its capital is Guanajuato. In the mountainous northern parts, mining for silver, gold, zinc, copper, mercury, and lead is the leading occupation, but there are fertile plains in the south that produce crops of maize, barley, wheat, and beans. Industries in towns such as Leon and Celaya include petrochemicals, textiles, cement, processed foods, and leather.

Guanajuato has been a state since 1824.
