Venustiano Carranza is one of the 16
delegaciones (boroughs) into which
Mexico's
Federal District is divided. It was formed in 1970 when the former subdivision of
Mexico City was split up; the delegaciones of
Miguel Hidalgo,
Benito Juárez, and
Cuauhtémoc also resulted from this split.
The borough was named after President Venustiano Carranza, the chief architect of the Mexican Constitution of 1917.
This part of Mexico City is home to the districts of Jardín Balbuena, Penitenciaría, and El Arenal. The Benito Juárez International Airport is also located here.
