Toponymy edit

The name (San Ignacio Tesip) is a combination of Maya and Spanish terms. "San Ignacio" is Spanish for Ignatius of Loyola and "Tesip" is derived from the Mayan language. It comes from the words "te", meaning place and "Sip", who is the Mayan goddess of the hunt.[3]

History edit

Main article: Haciendas of Yucatán

On 28 June 1993 the Cuxtal Ecological Reserve was designated to protect the history of the 7 large haciendas, their adjoining pueblas, 12 minor archaeological sites, 6 cenotes and one of Mérida's important water supply stations.[4] Hacienda San Ignacio Tesip was part of this historic designation.[5]

Within the reserve are the following protected haciendas:[5]

The hacienda is rented as an event venue for weddings and photographic sessions,[7] and has been filmed in a telenovella (Mexican soap opera). It was featured as “Hacienda Castañón" in the telenovella “Abismo de Pasión” (Abyss of Passion),[8] In the telenovella, the character of Elisa Castañón resides at the hacienda.[9] The soap opera was filmed at the hacienda until its finale in September 2012.[8]

Demographics edit

All of the henequen plantations ceased to exist as autonomous communities with the agrarian land reform implemented by President Lazaro Cardenas in 1937. His decree turned the haciendas into collective ejidos, leaving only 150 hectares to the former landowners for use as private property.[10] Figures before 1937 indicate populations living on the farm. After 1937, figures indicate those living in the community, as the remaining Hacienda San Ignacio Tesip houses only the owner's immediate family.

According to the 2005 census conducted by the INEGI, the population of the city was 329 inhabitants, of whom 162 were men and 167 were women.[11]
