The municipality (Spanish: municipio) of Ensenada is the fourth largest municipality in Mexico with a land area of 19,526.8 km2 (7,539.3 sq mi),[3] about the same size as Hidalgo state and larger than 5 states in Mexico.
Located offshore, Cedros Island and Guadalupe Island are part of the municipality, making Ensenada the westernmost municipality in Mexico and Latin America.
Incorporated on May 15, 1882 as the northern partido of the Baja California Territory, it became a municipality of the state of Baja California on December 29, 1953.[4]
It shares borders with all of Baja California's municipalities: Tijuana, Playas de Rosarito, Tecate and Mexicali to the north and northeast, and San Quintín to the south. Its municipal seat is Ensenada, a port lying near the northwest corner of the municipality.
Ensenada's current (as of 2020) municipal president (Spanish: presidente municipal) is Armando Ayala Robles. A major port is planned to be built in Punta Colonet, a largely uninhabited area 80 km (50 mi) south of the city of Ensenada.
In February 2020, San Quintín separated from this municipality and became Baja California's sixth municipality.[5]
