Ayotla

Hacienda de Tecomaxtlahua y Hacienda de Los Obos

In Teotitlán, the sugarcane plantation of Cuatempam and the Hacienda and Sugar Mill of Ayotla (both founded during the colonial period) belonged to General Ignacio Mejía during the Porfiriato, and later passed into the hands of Francisco Martínez Arauna. They covered 10,000 hectares and 4,500 hectares, respectively.

The Ingenio Central de Ayotla was founded by Martínez Arauna in 1908 and, commencing operations from 1910, worked with complete regularity and always yielding profits in favour of its owner until 1920, when Martìnez Arauna sold the business to Ortiz Sainz y Cía., after which it slipped into decline.
