History

 * What currently constitutes the historic center of the municipality of Mérida, was the pre-Hispanic seat of the Itzá Mayan tribe known by the names of Ichcaansihó.
 * Such seat was in ruins upon the arrival of the Spanish.
 * The abandonment and loneliness of the site inclined the Spaniards to peacefully take possession of those archaeological vestiges, whose grandeur and beauty reminded them of the ruins of the Roman Mérida of their homeland.
 * The municipality of Mérida was founded on January 6, 1542.
 * On September 15, 1821, in the Council Hall of the City Council of Mérida, the separation of Yucatán from Spain was declared and the incorporation of the province into Mexico was proposed.
 * On August 17, 1848, the formal reincorporation of Yucatán into the Mexican Republic was decreed. This puts an end to the autonomist movements motivated by the fall of the federal regime in the country.
 * Mérida was divided in 1825, district in 1837 and municipality in 1918.
 * The municipality of Mérida has a population of approximately 828,000 people.
