Acajete is a municipality located in the central zone in the Mexican state of Veracruz, about 20 km from state capital Xalapa. It has a surface of 90.48 km2. It is located at 19°58′N 97°00′W / 19.967°N 97.000°W. In the middle of 1586 this village was formed, on one of the adjoining old men of Tlacolulan's dominion. The decree N ° 64 of November 3, 1893, extinguished the municipality of La Hoya, annexing its territory to San Salvador Acajete. On November 5, 1932, the municipal head-board San Salvador Acajete changes the name to Acajete.
