Amealco de Bonfil

Its elevation is 2,605 metres (8,547 ft) above sea level, and the annual temperature ranges from 15 to 20 °C (59 to 68 °F).

In the early 19th century, a group of French and Spanish entrepreneurs settled in the city and began the logging industry, which at its peak was one of the main suppliers of wood to Mexico City, and also exported wood to France and the United States.

The governments of these two countries issued diplomas kept in the Palacio Municipal that certify the quality of Amealco's products.

The Hñähñu or Otomí people are concentrated in the southern and eastern parts of the municipality, in 34 settlements.

Amealco is the municipality with the highest concentration of indigenous people, with almost 80% of the State's total.
