History
editIn the Purépecha language, Indaparapeo has been translated to mean "place of games" or "place of victory in combat"; the latter would appear to be a reference to the Tarascans defeating the Aztecs. Prior to Spanish contact, Indaparapeo was inhabited by the Matlatzinca people, who were allies of the Tarascans.[2]
Indaparapeo was one of the 61 municipalities initially created in Michoacán in 1831. Its original extent has been reduced by the creation of several municipalities from its territory, namely Queréndaro in 1921, Álvaro Obregón in 1930 and Tzitzio in 1936.[2][9]
Administration
editThe municipal government comprises a president, a councillor (Spanish: síndico), and seven trustees (regidores), four elected by relative majority and three by proportional representation.[2] The current president of the municipality is María Teresa Pérez Romero.[10]
Demographics
editIn the 2010 Mexican Census, the municipality of Indaparapeo recorded a population of 16,427 inhabitants living in 3791 households.[11] The 2015 Intercensal Survey estimated a population of 16,990 inhabitants in Indaparapeo.[4]
There are 39 localities in the municipality,[1] of which two are classified as urban:
