Sumario:This paper analyzes the historical development and urban transformation of Chetumal, originally named Payo Obispo, from its status as border town, highlighting the emergence of this settlement as a response to the anarchy prevailing towards the end of the 19th century on the banks of Rio Hondo which is the natural border between México and British Honduras, Belize as designated by the Mariscal-Saint John Treaty, in which the last rebel Mayas of the Yucatan Caste War smuggled weapons and ammunition with English loggers. The analysis includes history from the founding of Payo Obispo in 1898 to the creation of Quintana Roo as a Federal territory in 1974
