Anciently known as Bolonchen Ticul, the place bears nowadays the name of Rejón in honor of Manuel Crescencio Rejón, who was born here in 1799. Manuel Rejón is the author of the "Juicio de Amparo", a law that prohibits arrest until the day of trial; his birthplace is now a cultural center. Another place worthwhile visiting are the grottos of X’tacumbilxunaam which were discovered in 1841 by the explorer John L. Stephens. The grottos are of an impressive beauty.
