Mejillones is a port city located in northern Chile's Antofagasta Region, situated on a peninsula that extends into the Pacific Ocean. The city's name comes from the Spanish word for mussels, reflecting its historical connection to the fishing industry.
Established in the 19th century, Mejillones developed primarily as an industrial port town, playing a significant role in Chile's mining sector, particularly in the exportation of minerals from the Atacama Desert region. The city's cultural heritage is closely tied to its maritime history and the nitrate boom era, which shaped much of northern Chile's development.
Today, Mejillones continues to be an important industrial center, while maintaining connections to its historical roots through its architecture and local traditions.
