It is called the "rice capital of Ecuador" for its important rice production.[3] In the 2022 census it had a population of 161,498 which makes it the fourteenth most populous city in the country.[1] It is part of the metropolitan area of Guayaquil, because its economic, social and commercial activity is strongly linked to Guayaquil, being a dormitory city for thousands of people who move to Guayaquil by land daily.

Every September 14 in Daule people celebrate "El Señor de Los Milagros" festival.[4] That day people go to the church called El Señor de los Milagros and at night to watch fireworks. Daule was the name of the indigenous tribe called Daulis.

On February 2, 2022, Pope Francis erected the new Roman Catholic Diocese of Daule.[5]
