Caste War of Yucatán
Yucatán declared its independence from the Spanish Crown in 1821, and in 1825 the area was assigned to the low sierra partition of Mama Municipality. In 1845 it was transferred to the Tecoh Municipality but was deserted during the Caste War of Yucatán. In 1867, Tekit was transferred to the Ticul Municipality and in 1988 was confirmed as head of its own municipality.
