Mexican State
The large, sparsely populated state of Durango borders on Chihuahua in the north, Sinaloa in the west, Nayarit in the south, and Zacatecas and Coahuila in the east. Extending as far as the western slopes of the Sierra Madre, it consists primarily of dry plateaux covered with lava rock and deeply fissured by ravines. Its inhabitants are mestizos and Creoles, with Tepehuano Indians still living in remote areas.
History
The region now making up the state was populated in pre-Hispanic times by semi-nomadic tribes, in particular the Tepehuano and Acaxe.
