Fast Facts

The indigenous NĂ¡hua tribe named the city Acapulco, meaning place of giant reeds.

In 1521, the port became the only one in the New World permitted to receive Spanish galleons from the Far East. The wealth of imported treasures also drew greedy Dutch and English pirates to its golden shores.
