Culiacancito is a small town located northwest of the larger city of Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. The towns' economy and wealth is based on agriculture and livestock farming, as all 100% of the land in the district is irrigated.
Culiacancito comes from a dimunative form of the neighboring city Culiacán, which itself comes from the Nahuatl root word colhuatzinco. The suffix -cito makes the towns' name be interpreted as the "smaller city" of Culiacán.[1] Former professional footballer and ESPN commentator Jared Borgetti was born in Culiacancito.[2]
