meaning "flat land". It was integrated as a town for Spaniards. Originally there had been here an indigenous village called "Nat tah hí", which in Otomí means "place of mesquite" or "in the shadow of the mesquite".
On December 7, 1668, the title of "Very Noble and Loyal City" was officially issued to the city, along with the right to a coat of arms.
Throughout its history, Celaya was known as "The Golden Gateway to the Bajío Region" (La Puerta de Oro del Bajío), due to its great agricultural production and commercial dynamism. It is well known for its strategic location, communications and industrial growth in very diverse areas.
