Seyé Municipality (In the Yucatec Maya Language: “little ladder”) is one of the 106 municipalities in the Mexican state of Yucatán containing (186.50 km2) of land and located roughly 38 km southeast of the city of Mérida.
There is no accurate data on when the town was founded, though it existed before the conquest and in antiquity belonged to the chieftainship of Hocabail-Homún. At colonization, Seyé became part of the encomienda system with Alonso de Rojas recorded as the encomendero in 1579. He was followed by successors Joaquín Gómez (1607), Antonio Gómez Pacheco (1647) and Pablo de Aguilar (1688).
In 1821, Yucatán was declared independent of the Spanish Crown. In 1825 the area was part of the Beneficios Bajos region, with its headquarters in Sotuta.
