Hacienda Citincabchén is located in the Chapab Municipality in the state of Yucatán in southeastern Mexico. It is one of the properties that arose during the nineteenth century henequen boom.
The name (Citincabchén) is a word from the Mayan language meaning "I only like honey".[3] In 1910 the name changed from Citincabchén to Cituncabchén and then in 1921 to Citilcalchén, before changing to Citincabchén in 1930.
The puebla, and hacienda are located halfway between Muna and Tekit approximately 68 km south of Mérida, Yucatán.
See main article: Haciendas of Yucatán.
There was a henequen hacienda at the site which was part of a labor dispute heard in the 1916 Tribunals of the Revolution hearings under Governor Salvador Alvarado.[4]
According to the 2005 census conducted by the INEGI, the population of the city was 817 inhabitants of whom were 423 men and 394 were women.[5]
