Telchac Puerto Municipality (Telchac Puerto)
Telchac Puerto Municipality (In the Yucatec Maya Language: “Port of Rain or necessary water”) is one of the 106 municipalities in the Mexican state of Yucatán containing 173.73 km2 of land and located roughly 70 km northeast of the city of Mérida.

It is unknown which chieftainship the area was under prior to the arrival of the Spanish. After the conquest the area became part of the encomienda system. Telchac is listed as belonging to the Spanish crown from 1549 to 1607 when Alonso Carrio de Valdés and María de Argüelles Cienfuegos traded it for Sisal and became encomenderos. In 1688 it passed to Ambrosio de Argüelles and in 1698 Eugenia de la Cerda y Figueroa was recorded as encomendara.

Yucatán declared its independence from the Spanish Crown in 1821 and in 1825, the area was assigned to the coastal region with its headquarters in Izamal Municipality. Later it passed to Motul Municipality and in 1927 was part of Telchac Pueblo Municipality. In 1932 it was designated as its own municipality.
