Calotmul Municipality ( Yucatec Maya: "place of two conjoined hills") is a municipality in the Mexican state of Yucatán containing (361.50 km2) of land and is located roughly 185 kilometres (115 mi) east of the city of Mérida. [2]
There is no accurate data on when the town was founded, but during the conquest, it became part of the encomienda system [2] and the first encomendero was Rodrigo Alvarez in 1549. [4] Subsequent encomenderos included Nicolas del Puerto (1665), who was entrusted with 400 indigenous persons; Antonio de la Felguera Castillo (1710), who had charge over 584 natives; and Marco Ayala. [2]
Yucatán declared its independence from the Spanish Crown in 1821, and in 1825 the area was assigned to the Tizimín Municipality. [2] In 1988 it was confirmed as head of its own municipality. [5]
The municipal president is elected for a three-year term. The town council has four councilpersons, who serve as Secretary and councilors of markets, parks and gardens, and cemeteries. [6]
The head of the municipality is Calotmul, Yucatán. There are 17 populated areas of the municipality [6] which include Pocobóch, Táhcabo and Yokdzonot Meneses. The significant populations are shown below: [2]
