Yahualica covers some 563.3 square kilometers and shares borders with the state of Zacatecas.
The name Yahualica is thought to be derived from the indigenous roots of the Nahuas. It may be from "ayahuitl" meaning fog and "calli" meaning house, making Yahualica "the house of fog." Another proposed translation of Ayahuitl is "place surrounded by water" or "the round place".[2]
