History
There is no accurate data on when Umán was founded, though it existed before the conquest and in antiquity belonged to the chieftainship of Ah Canul. At colonization, it became part of the encomienda system with Francisco Hernández recorded as one of the earliest encomenderos.
Yucatán declared its independence from the Spanish Crown in 1821 and in 1825, the area was assigned to the Lower Camino Real with its headquarters in Hunucmá Municipality. In 1921, Umán was designated as seat of its own municipality.
