History of Nogales, Sonora Heroica Nogales (Spanish pronunciation: 

[eˈɾoika noˈɣales]), more commonly known as Nogales, is a city and the county seat of the Municipality of Nogales. It is located on the northern border of the Mexican state of Sonora. The city is abutted on its north by the city of Nogales, Arizona, United States, across the U.S.-Mexico border.

The independent Nogales Municipality, which included the town of Nogales, was established on July 11, 1884.The Nogales Municipality covers an area of 1,675 km². Nogales was declared a city within the Municipality on January 1, 1920.

The Battle of Ambos Nogales

The Battle of Ambos Nogales (lit. The Battle of Both Nogales), or as it is known in Mexico La batalla del 27 de agosto (lit. "The Battle of 27 August"), was an engagement fought on 27 August 1918, between Mexican forces and elements of United States Army soldiers of the35th Infantry, who were reinforced by the Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry, and commanded by Lt. Col. Frederick J. Herman. The American soldiers and militia forces were stationed inNogales, Arizona and the Mexican soldiers and armed Mexican milita were in Nogales, Sonora.

This occurred after the Zimmermann telegram during World War I when the international border between the two Nogales was a wide open boulevard named International Street. There had been several previous fatal incidents in this area which helped increase international tensions and leading to armed conflict. This included the claim of Germanmilitary advisors as agitators with Mexican Villa rebels, claims of racism and border politics. As a result of this 27 August 1918 battle, the U.S. and Mexico agreed to divide the two border communities with chain-link border fence, the first of many permanent incarnations of theU.S.-Mexico border wall between the two countries.

Demographics The population growth is in part due to the influx of

industry that has come since the opening of the maquiladoraindustry through the National Industrialization Program, decades before the North American Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA). Manufacturing now accounts for 55% of the city's gross domestic product, and services are growing as well, most of this caused by the growing jobs in the city.

Monuments At the center of Nogales, there is the Plaza de

Benito Juarez. Here there is a statue with two leading figures designed by Spanish sculptor Alfredo Just. This is a tribute to Mexican President Benito Juarez, and the other is the "Monument to Ignorance", where a naked man who represents the Mexican people is fighting with a winged creature that represents ignorance

Economy The primary commercial artery is 

Mexico Federal Highway 15, which links the state with the U.S. as well as major cities in Mexico.

Tourism Due to its location, Nogales is one of the most

important ports of entry for U.S. tourists. The downtown area consists of bars, strip clubs, hotels, restaurants, and a large number of curio stores, which sell a large variety of artesanias (handicrafts, leather art, handmade flowers, clothes) brought from the deeper central and southern states of Mexico. Local dishes commonly available in restaurants include many types of antojitos (Mexican food) such as enchiladas, tacos, burritos with carne machaca (dried meat), menudo and tamales.[7]

Manufacturing Maquiladoras, or manufacturing plants, employ a

large percentage of the population. Nogales' proximity to the U.S. and the abundance of inexpensive labor make it an efficient location for foreign companies to have manufacturing and assembly operations. Some of the companies that have established maquiladoras in Nogales include: Otis Elevator, The Chamberlain Group, Walbro, and Philips Avent.

Production and export Approximately 92 establishments produce foreign

exports. Sixty-five of these establishments are located in seven industrial parks, which employ approximately 25,400 workers, around 50 percent of the total employed population of the municipality.[7] Also important to the economy is livestock for both foreign export and cattle breeding.

Agriculture Produce is one of Mexico's largest imports into the

United States and the Mariposa Port of entry, at Nogales, is the most widely used route for produce destined for the U.S. It is estimated that over 80 percent of Americas produce passes through Nogales each year. The produce industry requires facilities for the storage, packing, transport and logistics of these goods and provides many with employment on both sides of the border. November through March represent peak harvesting season and it is during these months when jobs are abundant and importation is at its highest.

Municipal government[edit] The Nogales Municipality was governed by the 

Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) for its entire history until the 2006 elections, when power shifted to the National Action Party (PAN). After more than ten decades of being in power, the PRI was ousted by PAN when long-time successful businessman and philanthropist Marco Antonio Martínez Dabdoub ran for the presidency of Nogales, winning by 30,000 votes over his PRI opponent.
