Chicxulub Pueblo Municipality (Chicxulub Pueblo)
Chicxulub Pueblo Municipality (In the Yucatec Maya Language: "horn lit place" or "flea devil") is one of the 106 municipalities in the Mexican state of Yucatán containing (196.72 km2) of land and located roughly 25 km north of the city of Mérida. The area was considered the epicenter of the Chicxulub crater.

In ancient times, the area was part of the chieftainship of Ceh-Pech until the conquest. At colonization, Chicxulub Pueblo became part of the encomienda system with Julián Doncel recorded as the encomendero in 1549.

In 1821, Yucatán was declared independent of the Spanish Crown. In 1905, Chicxulub belonged to the region headquartered in Izamal. In the second half of the nineteenth century, Chicxulub Pueblo was joined to the municipality of Tixkokob, but 1918, Chicxulub became head of its own municipality.
