Migues is a small city in the Canelones Department of southern Uruguay.
Migues is also the name of the municipality to which the town belongs.
The city is located on the intersection of Route 80 with Routes 81, 88 and 108, about southeast of Tala and west of Montes.
On 27 June 1870, a "Pueblo" (village) named "Carmen" was created by the Act of Ley Nú 1.112 on the land belonging to Nicasia Figueredo de Migues, between two streams of the SolÃÂs river. It probably corresponds to the village eventually named "Migues". On 15 May 1925, its status was elevated to "Villa" (town) by the Act of Ley Nú 7.837. On 26 June 1970, its status was further elevated to "Ciudad" (city) by the Act of Ley Nú 13.866.
