What are the States of Mexico?

Mexico is a federal republic of 31 states and Mexico City. Each state has its own constitution, governor and congress.

  • Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821.
  • The 1824 constitution turned the colonial intendancies into the first 19 states.
  • Others were created later: Guerrero in 1849, Hidalgo and Morelos in 1869, and Baja California in 1952.
  • Baja California Sur and Quintana Roo, the newest states, followed in 1974.
  • Mexico City, formerly the Federal District, gained its own constitution in 2016 but isn't a state.
