<p>The Hohokam inhabited the area from roughly 300 B.C. to 1400 A.D.
</p><p>The municipal seat was formed in the year 1688 as <b>Misión La Purísima Concepción de Nuestra Señora de Caborca</b>, by the Jesuit missionary Francisco Eusebio Kino on the point called Caborca Viejo (Old Caborca). The mission town was completed under Kino in December 1692. The old site of the municipal seat is now known as Pueblo Viejo (Old Town).
</p><p>In 1790, the seat was established at the place it now occupies, on the eastern bank of the Asunción River. It was inhabited by Upper Pimas. The name of the municipality comes from "Kawulk", which means "hill with rocks and boulders".
</p><p>In April 1857, during the Reform War, a force of American colonists, captained by Henry A. Crabb, was defeated and massacred by rebel forces of Ygnacio Pesquiera and Tohono O'odham warriors. Pesquiera had initially invited the Americans to settle in northern Sonora, to help the fight against the federal Mexican government; however, before the Crabb Expedition arrived in Sonora, Pesquiera's rebels defeated the federal troops and took over the state. Because of this, when the Crabb party arrived, Pesquiera's ordered his men to attack the Americans. Over the course of eight days, from 1 to 8 April, about 25 Americans and a reported 200 Mexicans and O'odham were killed in battle, at the end of which, some 55 captured Americans were executed by firing squad, including Henry Crabb. In memory of the Crabb Massacre, the seat changed its name to Heróica Caborca in April 1948.
</p><p>At the start of Mexican independence, it was the seat of a parish, under the area of Guadalupe de Altar for its civil administration. It obtained the status of Municipality at the end of the 19th century, assigned to the District of Altar (until districts were abolished by the constitution of 1917).
