Rosario de Tesopaco (often abbreviated to Rosario) is a small town, the seat of Rosario de Tesopaco Municipality in the southeast of the Mexican state of Sonora.
The municipal seat was originally a cattle ranch called San Salvador Tesopaco. In 1622 the Jesuit missionary Diego Vandersipe founded the settlements of Santa Ana de Movas and San Joaquín de Nuri, which were seats of their respective municipalities belonging to the larger municipality of Rosario. In 1866 in the village of Movas there was a skirmish between the liberal troops of Coronel Asunción Correa and an Imperialist group commanded by Joaquín Monge; the liberals won. In 1879 it acquired the category of municipality and annexed the former municipalities of Movas and Nuri.
The population of Rosario de Tesocapo is 5,432 as of 2000. [ citation needed ][ needs update ]
