Beltrán de Guzmán and named San Miguel de Culiacán. Experts do not agree on
the meaning of the name, but it apparently comes from the word colhuacan ,
which can mean "place where roads turn", "place of snakes", but
traditionally the most accepted translation would be "place of those who
adore the god Coltzin ". Before the Spaniards arrival, this site had been a
small Indian settlement since 628 when passing Aztecs had first founded it.
