Juan José Ríos (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈxwaŋ xoˈse ˈri.os]), is an agricultural city located in Northern Sinaloa, Mexico. It's divided in two municipalities, where its major part is located in Guasave Municipality, and the rest is in Ahome Municipality. It had a population of 27,938 inhabitants (including city's both parts in Guasave and Ahome Municipalities), according to the 2010 census.
Ejido Las Vacas (formerly named Juan José Ríos), was founded on 21 September 1938 by presidential decision, by the then President Lázaro Cárdenas del Río. It had an area of 16,420 ha and 179 inhabitants; of which 64 were ejidatarios.
Between the years of 1946 and 1951 several peasants from Los Mochis, 18 de Marzo and San Miguel Zapotitlán towns, Ahome Municipality; and La Louisiana town, El Fuerte Municipality, requested to the Agricultural Department that they be granted with plots to sow in Ejido Las Vacas. And between the years of 1953 and 1954, Agricultural Department granted all of the 672 people who had requested plots.
Several towns in El Fuerte and Choix Municipalities were affected when Miguel Hidalgo Dam construction started. Its construction was divided in two phases: the first one was in the years of 1952 to 1956, and the second one in the years of 1956 to 1964.
