Ramos Arizpe ({{IPA|es|ˈramos aˈɾispe}}) is a town that is part of the Saltillo metropolitan area located in the Mexican state of Coahuila. The city reported a population of 114,010 in the 2020 census; the municipality had a population of 122,243. Its area is 5,306.6 km2 (2,048.9 sq mi).
Ramos Arizpe was established originally in 1577 as Valle de las Labores, a name chosen as the soil was conducive to agriculture.
History
In the year 1606 the town was renamed Valle de San Nicolás de la Capellanía, because Spanish missionaries had taken there a sacred image of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino.
It is now a major industrial center, founded in 1974, featuring many automotive industrial parks. Several major companies have large operations in Ramos Arizpe or vicinity, such the General Motors Ramos Arizpe Assembly plant (Home of the Chevy C2, Pontiac Aztek, Buick Rendezvous, Saturn Vue, Cadillac SRX, Saab 9-4X and HHR), Chrysler Saltillo Engine Plant (Home of the 5.7L V8 HEMI engine) and other suppliers such as Magna, Stabilus, ZF Sachs and Macimex. As of 2016 the plant produces about one third of the firm's full-sized pickups.{{cite news|author1=Bill Vlasic|title=Profitable Pickups May Be in Cross Hairs of Trump Border Tax|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/13/business/general-motors-mexico-pickups.html|access-date=14 February 2017|work=The New York Times|date=13 February 2017|quote=And while Fiat Chrysler is expanding its American output of trucks, it still relies on its factory in Saltillo, Mexico, for 30 to 40 percent of its pickups}}
