One of the peculiarities of Canelas is that the area where it is currently located was previously inhabited by the Acaxesone of the original pre-Hispanic tribes of the territory.
The name of this Duranguense population derives from the last name of the Portuguese captain Mateo Canelas, who in 1601 founded the municipal seat of this town that is located at the top of the Sierra Madre Occidental of the Mexican Republic.
Due to the fact that Canelas is very isolated from the rest of the municipalities of the state of Durango, its development has been reduced, for which reason it is currently a small community whose inhabitants are dedicated, fundamentally, to subsistence farming.
It is due to the deficiencies that it has dragged on for many years that Canelas became one of the regions most affected by the activities of the Mexican cartels, forming part of the famous Golden Triangle.
Being part of the Sierra Madre Occidental, the town of Canelas is characterized by its ravines and streams that surround the region, all of it nestled in the Duranguense mountains.
