Our first stop was the Valladolid Town Centre. The city was founded on May 28, 1543, by Francisco de Montejo . It was originally located in the Mayan town of Chauac-Há.. In March 24, 1545, the town was moved to Zací, the capital of the Mayan chiefdom of the Cupules . In 1848, the city and its haciendas were taken by the indigenous Mayans during the Caste War in response to the oppression they suffered at the hands of the Yucatecan government, so the affected families had to emigrate to other regions.
The city was taken months later by the Yucatecan government after the agreement for the federal government to provide them with weapons and troops in exchange for abandoning the idea of separating from the Republic. In June 4, 1910, the city was the scene of one of the first antecedents of the Mexican Revolution known as the Valladolid Rebellion or the First Spark of the Revolution.
