This city in the state of Guanajuato has roots dating back to pre-Hispanic times, when the area was inhabited by Chichimec groups and later by the Purépechas, who named the settlement Xiriquitzio - “place where the hill of the plain emerges”.

Today, Irapuato is an important center of agricultural and commercial production, recognized worldwide as the Strawberry Capital.
