Muna, Administrative division in Yucatán, Mexico

The municipality of Muna extends across 270 square kilometers of land in the southern region of Yucatán state, 50 kilometers from Mérida.

The territory belonged to the Tutul Xiu chieftainship before Spanish colonization, when it became part of the encomienda system under Castilla in 1549.

The municipal festivities occur from August 12 to 15, featuring celebrations dedicated to the Virgin of the Assumption with traditional dances and bullfights.

The municipal government operates through a president and nine council members who manage public services, education, and infrastructure maintenance for 12,336 residents.

The name Muna originates from Yucatec Maya language meaning soft water, reflecting the indigenous heritage of this administrative region.
