Kanasín Municipality (In the Yucatec Maya Language: "tense or strongly tightened") is a municipality in the Mexican state of Yucatán containing 72.81 km2 of land and located roughly 5 km east of the city of Mérida.

History

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. One of the first encomenderos was Francisco Sosa, with 209 Indians in his charge. Later it passed to Josefa Díaz Bolio, who had care of 211 Indians and then to reverend Sister María Josefa, with 155 Indians.

Yucatán declared its independence from the Spanish Crown in 1821 and in 1825, Kanasín was established as head of its own municipality.

Governance

The municipal president is elected for a three-year term. The town council has nine councilpersons, who serve as Secretary and councilors of policing and neighborhoods, public works, health and ecology, education, culture and sports, public monuments, parks and gardens, transportation, and nomenclature.

The Municipal Council administers the business of the municipality. It is responsible for budgeting and expenditures and producing all required reports for all branches of the municipal administration. Annually it determines educational standards for schools.

The Police Commissioners ensure public order and safety. They are tasked with enforcing regulations, distributing materials and administering rulings of general compliance issued by the council.

The head of the municipality is Kanasín, Yucatán. There are 76 inhabited places in the municipality. Some of the more important ones include Habal, Mulchechén, San Antonio Tehuitz, San Antonio Xiol, San Pedro Nóhpat, and Teya. The significant populations are shown below:
