Acapulco Guerrero Mexico Night View Kodak Mexicana Real Photo Postcard

Acapulco, Guerrero, historically served as a critical Pacific port for New Spain, facilitating the lucrative Manila Galleon trade from the 16th to the 19th centuries. By the early to mid-20th century, as captured in this night view, it was transitioning from primarily a commercial harbor to an emerging international tourist destination. The visible lights and infrastructure along the bay reflect a period of growth and increasing development, particularly following the construction of modern road links to Mexico City.
