History
In December 1930, the Mexican Congress amended Article 43 of the Constitution, thus splitting the Baja California Territory into two territories: the Territory of Baja California Norte and Territory of Baja California Sur. The border between the two was defined as the 28th parallel north.[5]
Statehood
The life of the territory was governed by strong political-social movements that sought to obtain the status of a state of Mexico, an objective that was achieved in 1974. The decree on transforming the Territory of Baja California Sur into the Free and Sovereign State of Baja California Sur was published in the Official Journal of the Federation on 8 October 1974. The last territorial governor, Félix Agramont Cota, was appointed provisional governor of the newly created state.[6][7]
Likewise, the policies of the federal and territorial governments sought to integrate populationally and economically the region to the rest of the country, using for this the colonization and agricultural development as well as a preferential tariff regime that facilitated foreign imports in the territory. Part of the settlement strategy was also supported by a large investment in infrastructure, public services, education, tourism, and other primary economic activities.[3][6]
