Pesquería
The river Pesquería flows through the region.
Demographics
The creation of a new automotive plant by KIA has led to an influx of Korean immigrants and workers to the area. Colloquially, Pesquería has even been referred to as "Pescorea", a portmanteau of "Pesquería" and "Corea", the Spanish word for Korea.

Economy
The most important economic activities in the Pesqueria County are cattle-breeding (about 20,000 hectares) and agriculture (about 10,000 hectares).
Suitable clay deposits enabled founding of some works producing bricks and tiles of good quality for local consumption as well as for export.
An automotive plant was built by the Korean KIA Motors company in 2016 for a planned production of 300,000 cars annually.
