Ciudad Mante, city, southern Tamaulipas estado (state), northeastern Mexico. Formerly known as Villa Juárez, it lies at 272 feet (83 metres) above sea level just south of the confluence of the Tamesí and Mante rivers and almost due south of Ciudad Victoria, the state capital. It is the commercial and manufacturing centre for a heavily irrigated area that produces vast quantities of sugarcane as well as tomatoes, lemons, beans, and cereals. Livestock are also raised. The city contains tanneries, distilleries, and sugar refineries, one of which is among Mexico’s largest. The surrounding region is known for its fishing, hunting, and swimming. Ciudad Mante can be reached by railroad, highway, and air. Pop. (2000) 80,533; (2010) 84,787.
