|  According
to the Chilam Balam de Chumayel, the territory of the
present Quintana Roo was the first establishment of
the Itzáes that arrived from the south and founded
on 435 year the population of Syancan Bakhalal. The
seated Mayan populations in the today been of Quintana
I nibble participated in the Confederation of Mayapán;
the main chieftainships in the Yucatan Peninsula were:
Ekab, Chanac Have, Tazes and Cupules in the north and
center and Cochuah and Chetumal in the south. Two shipwrecks
of Spanish expeditions: Gonzalo Guerrero and Jerónimo
de Aguilar were the first Hispanics in making contact
with enemy with the natives of the Eastern region of
the Yucatan Peninsula, were to the service of the Mayan
cacique of Chetumal, Nachancán, and made the
first Hispanic-Mexican mestization there. Several Spanish
expeditions failed in their attempt to populate the
Mayan region with the east. In 1527 Francisco de Montejo
it arrived at Cozumel and it tried to found populations,
but also it had to retire before the hostility of the
natives.
Later, Alonso Davila arrived at Tulum and Bakhalal and
founded on Chetumal a population to which called Real
Villa, but had to leave it due to the surprise attacks
of the Mayans. For 1545 the Spaniards managed to overcome
señorío of Bakhalal and founded Villa
of Salamanca de Bacalar there, but up to 1639 the Mayans
of Quintana I nibble had not been conquered, staying
in constant rebellion, and falling back towards the
interior of the forests; on its earth they founded the
famous Chan Santa Cruz, capital of the Mayan town in
fight, that never was conquered by the Spaniards.
 The
governments of Yucatan never obtained the complete control
of the natives of the east of the peninsula, who fought
by the restitution of their earth and to establish their
own government. The 30 of July exploded in Tepich the
rebellion of the Mayans, call War of Chaste, that would
be to last more than 50 years, until 1901, and although
controlled, the bottom problems that originated it would
continue being reason for restlessness until 1937. In
1848 the Mayans devastated Bacalar. Venancio Fish, Pat
Jacinth, Cecilio Chí, was some of the indigenous
leaders. In 1901, the federal army managed to occupy
Bacalar and Chan Santa Cruz, but the natives went into
in the forest. White Othón P. was the one who,
with a pacificadora work, managed to approach the Mayans
and to make them recognize the government of the Republic.
Due to the lack of control on the part of the government
yucateco, the revolt of Mayan and the loss from the
Mexican territory before Guatemala and Belize, arose
the necessity to create the Federal Territory of Quintana
Roo, that secreted of Yucatan was created by decree
of the 16 of January of 1902, with 50.843 kilometers
square of surface in the east of the Yucatan Peninsula
.
Quintana Roo included/understood all the territory that
had remained under Mayan control. In the Porfiriato
it was in being able of several large estate owners
who had enormous land extensions. To the triumph of
Revolution, president Madero, dismissed to the porfiristas
authorities in the territory and were released the political
prisoners who in him existed. In 1913 the annexation
of Quintana was decreed I nibble to Yucatan, which caused
that in 1915 Abel rebelled itself Ortiz Argumedo, this
fact added to the indigenous opposition, caused that
in 1915 the territory of Quintana recovered I nibble
Rescuing general Alvarado, military commandant of the
peninsula went to Santa Cruz de Bravo, where the natives
continued fighting the soldiers and demanded the retirement
of troops and the restitution of their earth. General
Alvarado restituted his earth to them but the Mayans
distrusted destroyed the routes of communication with
the rest of the peninsula.........
