History

 * Nogales arose from the authorization obtained in 1880 by the Sonora Railroad Company. In search of a border terminal, it chose Arroyo de los Nogales, thus taking it to a place on the international border of the Magdalena district.
 * Subsequently, the federal government authorized a border customs office at the location chosen for the railway terminal. At this time the site was deserted, except for some inhabitants of the Elías ranch. The customs employees had to settle in tents.
 * Nogales was established as a municipality on July 11, 1884.
 * The municipality of Nogales has a population of approximately 220,000 people.
