Cacau is located in the municipio of Abalá.
José María Ponce de León y Solís was born in Izamal, Yucatán in 1840, the son of Manuel Ponce de León y Marín, a landowner, and Laureana Solís. On 16 August 1861, he married Manuela Crescencia Cámara Luján, daughter of Nicolás de la Cámara y Castillo and Evarista Luján Domínguez. The de la Cámara family was a well-known family of hacienda owners descended from Juan de la Cámara, a Spanish nobleman and conquistador, who had arrived in the New World by the hand of Francisco de Montejo during the Conquest of Yucatán in the 16th century. His brother-in-law was Raymundo Cámara Luján, a landowner and businessman who was Ponce Solís' partner in several businesses.
Ponce Solís began commercial activities with Evarista Luján Domínguez, recently widowed by Nicolás de la Cámara y Castillo, to found the lingerie store La Fidelidad. With the savings from his work, Ponce Solís acquired the Cacao hacienda in Abalá, on the outskirts of the city of Mérida, which had been planted with henequen seedlings. At the time of its acquisition, the hacienda had two henequen stalk scrapers and a six-horsepower steam engine to process its production. As time went by, he also acquired the Ochil and Nabulá estates, in the same municipality of Abalá.
In his youth, Ponce was a great enthusiast of the port project of Progreso, being one of the first to acquire lots around the main square of the port. In 1880 a group around the conservative governor General Francisco Cantón Rosado obtained the concession to operate the Mérida – Valladolid railway line, the first railway project in the state. Ponce Solís was one of the people who financed the construction of this section, thus being in the economic vanguard movements of Yucatan.
Ponce Solís, in partnership with his brother-in-law Raymundo Cámara Luján, founded the casa comercial José M. Ponce y Cía., a firm that at the end of the 19th century became one of the main exporters of henequen, exporting 16% of fibre bales in 1898, only behind the firms of Olegario Molina and Eusebio Escalante. Its participation in the henequen industry was not concentrated in production but in the export of fiber, which was the most profitable part. However, he also produced fiber on his farm, Hacienda Cacao.
Ponce Solís did not concentrate merely on the henequen industry: he ventured into the industry manufacturing ice, chocolate and sweets, until he made what would be his masterpiece: the famous Cervecería Yucateca. Founded in 1900, with foreign machinery and with the support of E. Bannersfeld, a German brewmaster, who helped to establish the well-achieved quality of the beers. In its beginnings, the brewery produced 300 cases a day with 24 bottles each. Ponce Solís assumed the presidency of the board of directors while his son, Manuel Ponce Cámara, assumed the general management.
By 1902, the political situation in the state was becoming more complicated; at the whim of dictator Porfirio Díaz, Cantón Rosado had been replaced in the governorship by Olegario Molina Solís, an audacious businessman and politician with a liberal ideology. Molina Solís was not born into the traditional families of Yucatan landowners who were closely related to each other and, in many cases, traced their origins back to the colony. In his time as governor of Yucatán and, later, as secretary of development in the federal government, Molina Solís would make use of public power and closeness to the dictator to try to monopolize the henequen industry to the detriment of traditional Yucatecan families. This adversely affected the interests of Ponce Solís, who was ideologically opposed to Molina Solís.
Ponce Solís died in Mérida, Yucatán in 1913 at the age of seventy-three.

San Pedro Chinay is just south of Mérida, seven kilometres south of the Periférico on the road to Timucuy{footnote}Bagundo Crespo places this hacienda in the municipio of Progreso{/footnote}.
The hacienda was built in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century and is one of the oldest haciendas close to Mérida. In the eighteenth century, it was owned by the descendants of Bonifaz Lara, who was originally from Spain. Juan Miguel Castro, founder of the port of Progreso refurbished his wife's family home in 1852, and dedicated the reconstruction with a dated plaque to his wife, María de Jesús Lara.
These 1889 tokens carry the name José María Castro, and the three different tokens spell out J M C.

Hacienda San Francisco was founded in 1857 by Albino Manzanilla Cámara, who gradually acquired the adjoining lands until it reached an area of 9,600 hectares. extending over what are now the municipalities of Dzidzantún, Dzilam and Temax. Unlike other haciendas, this one was very well endowed, as it had a power plant, telephone line, elementary school, ballroom, chapel, tortilla shop, and itstienda de raya. In 1904, it was equipped with a hospital consisting of an administration room, four wards, an operating theatre and the doctor's house. At the height of its boom, it had more than 2,000 workers, classified into four groups: Mayans, Yaquis, mestizos and Koreans. Dedicated primarily to henequen exploitation, it diversified its activities into cattle ranching (he came to own eleven cattle ranches as annexes), the sale of corn, fruits (coconuts, oranges), firewood, charcoal and sea salt. Thanks to the introduction of more powerful machinery , it excelled in the production of henequen fibre in such a way that at that time, it was considered the most productive hacienda in all of Yucatan, with a total of 600,000 stalks a day. However, according to the surviving ledgers, by the beginning of the 20th century - the time in which it is believed that these tokens were issued, a significant part of its income came from the sale of salt to Veracruz, Mexico and New Orléans, for which it had its own dock and barges{footnote}Bagundo Crespo{/footnote}.
