Abstract

Probably this population is the most successful case of a company town dedicate to salt, since the last decades it has consolidated as the world's number one salt extraction and processing industry strategically located in Mexico. At the end of the 19th century, salt extractions and exports were recorded to the United States, but it was not until the middle of the 20th century that the industrial colony was formally established through a concession to foreign capital. This text intends to review the emergence of the mining community, seeing its urban structure and its industrial vestiges that could be industrial heritage of Baja California Sur region.
