Yautepec de Zaragozaaaaa, Municipal seat in Morelos, Mexico
Yautepec de Zaragoza is a municipality in the north-central region of Morelos state, covering a substantial area. The settlement is home to over 100,000 residents and has developed extensive urban infrastructure.
The settlement was renamed in 1869 when President Benito Juárez dedicated it to General Ignacio Zaragoza, who fought against French forces. This renaming marks an important turning point in local history.
