Chinandega's cultural and historical riches date from before the Spanish conquest, when this region was inhabited by various indigenous tribes, who had perhaps originated from the north, possibly present-day Mexico.
 There is a museum in the city, "Enrique Mantica Deshon", which contains 1200 archaeological artifacts of Pre-Columbian origin.
There is also a municipal theater called "Rodrigo Callejas" which can seat 400 people.
