Yautepec de Zaragozaaaaa, Municipal seat in Morelos, Mexico
Yautepec de Zaragoza extends across 203 square kilometers of land in the north-central region of Morelos state, accommodating over 105,000 residents.
The settlement changed its name in 1869 when President Benito Juarez dedicated it to General Ignacio Zaragoza, who led Mexican forces against the French.
The name originates from Nahuatl words yautli and tepetl, referring to a location on a hill where bright-colored flowers known as pericón grow.
The municipality maintains extensive infrastructure coverage with 99 percent of homes connected to electricity and 96 percent to water supply systems.
Archaeological excavations uncovered 6,000-year-old elephant remains, which are now displayed at the Regional Museum Cuauhnahuac in Cuernavaca.
