Guerra de Castas
Yucatán declared its independence from the Spanish Crown in 1821, and in 1825 the area was assigned to the Tizimín Municipality. In 1837, it was assigned to the Espita Municipality. As with other areas of the state, Sucilá was depopulated during the Caste War of Yucatán. In 1988, the area was confirmed as its own municipality.
