History
Conquistadores Gonzalo de Sandoval and Hernan Cortés passed through Acayucan on the route from Tuxtepec to Tenochititlan. In 1580 it was part of the ′′Villa de Espíritu Santo′′ (Coatzacoalcos); when this was wiped out by pirates, Ayayucan became the seat of the Alcaldía mayor.[1]
The local indigenous population rose up in rebellion in 1787.[1]
After the Mexican War of Independence in 1821, the Acayucan municipality was established in 1824. San Martin Acayucan became a villa in 1824 and a town on June 13, 1848. The community was destroyed by a hurricane in 1888.[1]
Hilario C. Salas took the town of Acayucan in his fight against the Porfirian dictatorship in 1906. San Martin Acayucan became a city on September 26, 1910.[1]
Electrification came to the city in 1946. The Catholic church was destroyed in the July 1957 earthquake.[1]
In 2005–07, the municipal president (mayor) of Acayucan was Fabiola Vázquez Saút of the PAN, a daughter of the slain cacique (local baron) Cirilo Vázquez.[4]
In May 2020, Francisco Navarette Serna, presumed drug chieftain responsible for the February 2016 murders of five young people from Acayucan between 16 and 27 years old, was killed at a party at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[5]
