Pichilinque, derived from a Guaycura name, was originally a favored anchorage in the Bay of La Paz. This anchorage was used by the U. S. Navy for a base of operations against the west coast of Mexico during the Mexican American War. It later developed into a port. Two ferry services operate from the port of Pichilingue, connecting the Baja California peninsula to the mainland at Mazatlán and Topolobampo, near Los Mochis.
