Nagarote (Spanish pronunciation: [naɣaˈɾote]) is a town and a municipality in the León Department of Nicaragua.

[citation needed] Nagarote's economy is largely based on cattle ranching and agriculture.

Its fertile soils give rise to crops such as soybeans, cotton, peanuts, corn, vegetables and tobacco.

At the end of July, celebrations dedicated to the city's patron Santiago Apostle take place.

[citation needed] Nagarote is paired with Norwalk, Connecticut in the U.S. as the result of a sister city consortium to pair six U.S. communities with six in Nicaragua for the purposes of fostering community development, and operates as the Norwalk/Nagarote Sister City Project.
