Xoxocotla () is a town located in the southern part of the state of Morelos, about 30 km south of the state capital Cuernavaca. The name comes from the Nahuatl language, Xoxo-oco-tlan: “place where there are green pines". Formerly part of Puente de Ixtla, it became its own indigenous municipality on 1 January 2019.Read more
It recorded a population of 21,074 inhabitants in the 2010 Mexican census.
The new municipality is formed by the colonies: Cerrado del Venado, Hermosa, Loma Linda, Arboledas del Sur, La Toma, Palo Prieto, Campo Corbeta, Shaya Michan, Tierra Alta, Campo Xolistlán and Palo Prieto Fraccionamiento. It also includes the Xoxocotla Ejido fields. Zacatepec challenged the inclusion of the 200 hectares (490 acres) of Shaya Michan.
According to the agreement, the people of the new municipality will be ruled according to traditional usos y costumbres (uses and customs), and they will be required to assume part of the public debt of Puente de Ixtla. Eight months after its formation, the municipality is still struggling to resolve its differences with Puente de Ixtla.
Other Indigenous communities that were granted autonomy are Coatetelco and Hueyapan.
