XX Century

1904 Thanks to the railway, Uayamon was able to transport its products to the Chenes and other important places. The first ten kilometers of the railway, connecting the Hacienda with the town of China, were constructed in this year.

1908 Nineteen more kilometers of rail lines followed connecting the Hacienda with the city of Campeche. The construction of the track was very important for Uayamon because the export of henequen and Campeche wood profited from this line.

1910 The last owner of the Hacienda was Joaquin Baranda Carvajal.

1913 An uprising under Manuel Castilla Brito, then Governor of Campeche, heralded the sunset of the Hacienda. Uayamon was witness to clashes between rivaling political groups, led by the Governor of the State and the Federal Government of General Huerta respectively. The former occupied the Hacienda as his camp and during his flight from the overwhelming force of the federal army the site was bombarded. The caldrons were destroyed, as were the machines for rasping the henequen and the train station. This was the beginning of the Hacienda’s decline.
