GENERAL AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION OF THE DISTRICT 4110
Chihuahua State
Chihuahua is a state in northern Mexico with a mainland area of 244,938 square kilometers (94,571.1 sq mi), slightly bigger than the United Kingdom. It is surrounded by the Mexican states of Sonora to the west, Sinaloa to the south-west, Durango to the south, and Coahuila to the east, and by the U.S. states of Texas to the north-east and New Mexico to the north. Chihuahua is the largest state in Mexico by area, and therefore has the nickname El Estado Grande ("The Big State").
Although Chihuahua is primarily identified with its namesake, the
Chihuahuan Desert, it has more forests than any other state. On the slope of the
Sierra Madre Occidental mountains (around the regions of
Casas Grandes,
Cuauhtémoc and
Parral), there are vast prairies of short yellow grass, the source of the bulk of the state's agricultural production.
As of 2005, there were 3.2 million inhabitants of the state. The largest city is the U.S.-border city of Ciudad Juárez, which has 1,301,452 residents (2005 census). The capital, Chihuahua, has 748,518 inhabitants.
The state also has a large service sector: tourism, banking and high-tech enterprises.
One of the most notable features of Chihuahua is the Barranca del Cobre, or Copper Canyon, a spectacular canyon system larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon.
Chihuahua played a pivotal role in the Mexican Revolution and was a battleground between revolutionary forces led by Pancho Villa and federal forces.
Durango State
Durango (pronounced [duˈɾaŋgo]) is one of the constituent states of Mexico. Its population is 1,509,118.[1] It has Mexico's second-lowest population density, after Baja California Sur. The city of Durango is the state's capital.
The state or estado of Durango is bordered to the north by Chihuahua, to the north-east by Coahuila, to the south-east by Zacatecas, to the south-west by Nayarit, and to the west by Sinaloa.

Durango is famous for its scorpions. Mexicans generally refer to the people of Durango as Alacrán de Durango (Scorpions from Durango). The demonym for the natives of Durango is Duranguense(s).
