Cuauhtémoc (Spanish pronunciation: [kwawˈtemok]; Mennonite Low German: Cuauhtemoc-Staut)[2] is a city located in the west-central part of the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

The town of Cuauhtémoc grew significantly after the coming of the Mennonites to the area in the 1920s, for whom the city was a shopping destination.

A railroad, a highway, and a bus line connected Cuauhtémoc with Chihuahua City.

The Gran Vision highway, which is to be continued to the west coast through the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains, joins the city to the western hinterlands, and another highway leaving the city passes through the Mennonite colonies to the north (Manitoba Colony).

One agricultural school, incorporated with the University of Chihuahua, is located in Cuauhtémoc, and the one incorporated Mennonite elementary and secondary school, Alvaro Obregon, was located on the outskirts at Quinta Lupita, but is at Km.

The growth of the Mennonite population due to natural increase and to additional immigration from Canada stimulated its economic activities.

Cuauhtémoc was the first city to erect a senior citizens home under public or government jurisdiction.
