The Hacienda de Uayamón dates back to the 16th. Century. Initially it was a large cattle ranch. It was pillaged several times by buccaneers, one of them in 1685, by Lauren Graff, known as the famous Lorencillo, and his lieutenant Agramonte. By the 19th. Century it was one of the most prosperous haciendas in Campeche, devoted to cattle raising, corn and tulipwood growing, specially sisal growing. By the end of the 19th. Century it became the property of Fernando Carvajal Estrada, who bequeathed to Rafael Carvajal Iturbide, whose name appears in one of the buildings. But it was Fernando Carvajal, a great entrepreneur of his time who, in addition to care for the wellbeing of his workers, their education and health needs, introduced the electricity, and fostered the project of 'Campechano' Railroad, in order to transport the high production of the hacienda to other parts; thus, Uayamón became an important trading point. By 1911, Uayamón was occupied by rebels, who destroyed the boilers and the machinery, as well as the railroad tracks and triggered its decadence. Of the hacienda's seat, he main house, the walls of the chapel, the charity hospital, the school, the house of trades, the machinery house, the cemetery and the irrigation system, have been conserved.
