Janos is a municipality in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. It is located in the extreme northwest of Chihuahua, on the border with the state of Sonora and the U.S. states of Arizona & New Mexico. As of 2010, the municipality had a total population of 10,953.[1] The municipal seat is the town of Janos, Chihuahua, which shares its name with the municipality.
The El Berrendo/Antelope Wells border crossing is located in the municipality.
As of 2010, the town of Janos had a population of 2,738.[1] Other than the town of Janos, the municipality had 315 localities, the largest of which (with 2010 populations in parentheses) was: Monte Verde (Altamira) (1,087), classified as rural.[1]
The name "Janos" was given by the Janos people, the indigenous inhabitants of the area upon the arrival of the Spaniards.[2] The Janos were probably a sub-tribe or closely related to the Suma people. Neither the Janos nor the Suma survived contact and are now extinct. Franciscan missionaries originally built a mission in the location in 1640, under the name Soledad de Janos. The mission did not, however, survive a series of revolts by indigenous people and was replaced on 16 October 1686 by a military presidio under Gen. Juan Fernández de la Fuente.
