Colima is a state in western Mexico. It shares its name with its capital and main city, Colima, Colima.

In addition to the capital city of Colima, the state`s main cities include Manzanillo and Tecomán. The state has an area of 5,455 square km, with a population in 2005 census of 567,996 people.
Colima is one of the oldest cities in Mexico, after Veracruz, and Mexico City. The Colima airport is located in the municipality of Cuauhtemoc. Avolar, Aerocalifornia and Aerolitoral all offer service.
Following the fall of Tenochtitlan in 1521, the Spanish conquistadors were quick to reach the west coast. Colima`s native king (Spanish: Rey Colimán) organized the defense of his kingdom against the Spanish. In 1523 the conquistador Gonzalo de Sandoval founded the first Villa de Colima in Caxitlán, near modern-day Tecomán. However, poor settlement conditions resulted in the founding of the Villa San Sebastián de Colima in what is now the city of Colima. The new location provided a better climate, lands better suited to cultivation, and proximity to mining.
