Oxkutzcab (Mayan pronunciation: [oʃkʼutsˈkab] ) is a small city and the municipal seat of the Oxkutzcab Municipality, Yucatán in Mexico. As of 2015, the city has a population of 33,854.^[1] Oxkutzcab is an agricultural center, focused mainly on the production of tropical fruits such as citrus, sapote, avocado, mango, papaya, mamey, huaya, saramuyo and plums.

History

Oxkutzcab was a town dating back to pre-Columbian times. With the fall of Mayapán in the 1440s, Oxkutzcab became a regional capital ruled by the Xiu family. After the Spanish conquest of Yucatán it was re-established as a Spanish colonial town in 1550; the Maya temples were demolished and a large Franciscan church built.

Oxkutzcab was granted the legal status of a city in the early 19th century. In 1847 the city was sacked in the Caste War of Yucatán. In 1879 the city was linked to the capital of Mérida by railroad.

Culture

Each year during the last days of November, the city hosts a "Festival of Oranges". There are two markets of tropical fruits: the "20 de Noviembre" market and "Solidarity" market, better known as "La central".
