Scope and Contents
This printed decree, issued by Lucas Alamán on July 21, 1823, in Mexico City, formalizes the separation of the provinces of Sonora and Sinaloa, designating Ures as the capital. Emerging from widespread dissatisfaction with centralized colonial administration, the decree reflects early efforts to reorganize territorial governance in post-independence Mexico. The document comprises twelve articles detailing the division of administrative departments, delineation of boundaries, and provisions for military protection. This decree marks the initial official separation of Sonora and Sinaloa, a significant moment in the political and territorial evolution of northern Mexico.
