Temoac is a town in the Mexican state of Morelos.

The town serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding municipality, with which it shares a name. Temoac comes from Nahuatl and means Temog-a (descend), Atl (water), Ko (adverb of place); "place where water descends".[1]

The municipality called Temoac has the following boundaries: to the north with the municipalities of Yecapixtla and Zacualpan de Amilpas; to the south with Jonacatepec and Jantetelco; to the west with Ciudad Ayala and to the east with the state of Puebla. The municipality reported 15,844 inhabitants in 2015 census.[2]

History

[edit]

In pre-Hispanic times, the region where the municipality of Temoac is located today was tributary to the Acolhuas of Texcoco, later to the Triple Alliance formed by the Mexicas, Acolhuas andTepanecas. Later in the colonial period, several sugar estates were built in the region. El Trapiche de Chicomocelo, established around the year 1600 in the town of Tlacotepec, was part of the acquisitions made by the Society of Jesus, a religious who in just 69 years owned 82 haciendas. In spite of the benefits that the exploitation of the cane generated, the trapiches (refineries) were demolished by the Maximum School of San Pedro and Pablo in 1732 and switched to wheat production.[3]

The municipal government building served as an elementary school for the children of Temoac in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Emiliano Zapata rural normal school was created in Amalcingo on 18 October 1973.[4] While the school has always tried to promote values to young teachers,[5] since its beginning, the school has been plagued by underfinancing, hazing, and violence.[6][7]

Differences between Zacualpan de Amilpas and surrounding communities led to the establishment of Temoac as a municipality on 17 March 1977.[8][9]

Valentín Lavín Romero, the candidate of the Green Party (PVEM), was elected municipal president (mayor) in the election of 1 July 2018.[10] Several of his family members were murdered on 13 September 2018.[11] Temoac has been plagued with crime and violence; citizens of Temoac and neighboring municipalities in 2018 established extra-legal self-defense organizations due to threats from drug dealers.[12][13] Lavín survived multiple attacks, but was assassinated on 22 July 2026 while helding the municipal presidency.[14]

Samir Flores, an activist and radio announcer from Amalcingo who opposed the construction of the thermoelectric plant in Huexca, Yecapixtla, was murdered on 20 February 2019, only three days prior to the proposed referendum on the project.[15] The referendum on the $22 billion peso (US$16 billion) plant was approved 59.1% in favor to 40.1% opposed by voters in Morelos, Puebla, and Tlaxcala, although the voting in Temoac was canceled due to violence.[16]

The state of Morelos reported 209 cases and 28 deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, as of 27 April 2020. Schools and many businesses were closed from mid March until 1 June.[17] The state office of DIF sent food and water to vulnerable groups of people in eight municipalities including Temoac on 26 May.[18] On 2 July, Temoac reported 32 infections and eight deaths from the virus; the reopening of the state was pushed back until at least 13 June.[19] Temoac reported 13 cases, six recuperations, and four deaths from the virus as of 31 August.[20] Twenty-seven cases were reported on 27 December 2020.[21]
