Ciudad Satélite, commonly known as Satélite, is an upper-middle and upper-class neighborhood located 14 KM northwest of Mexico City's Historic Center, in Naucalpan, in the western part of Greater Mexico City. Officially, the name corresponds exclusively to the homonym neighbourhood, Ciudad Satélite, founded circa 1957. But over time, its surrounding area—including upper-middle class neighbourhoods like Lomas Verdes, Echegaray, Paseos del Bosque or San Mateo, alongside adjacent municipalities Atizapán de Zaragoza and Tlalnepantla de Baz—has also become collectively known as "Satélite", due to its prominence as both an economically and socially dynamic area.
