Guerrero is named in honor of the second president of the republic, General Vicente Ramón Guerrero Saldaña (August 10, 1782 – February 14, 1831), a hero of the Mexican War of Independence. In 2003, the population was estimated at 3,167,400 people. The state capital is Chilpancingo de los Bravo. Other important cities include Acapulco, Petatlan, Taxco, Iguala, and Zihuatanejo. Guerrero is an important tourist destination. There are three main areas of tourism, known as the Triángulo del Sol (Triangle of the Sun). The first is Acapulco. The second is Taxco, a colonial town noted for its silverware. The third is Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo. Ixtapa was a destination created by the federal government during the slow economy of the 1980s to increase tourism.
