Hacienda Kancabchén de Valencia is located in the Sudzal Municipality in the state of Yucatán in southeastern Mexico. It is one of the properties that arose during the nineteenth century henequen boom. There are numerous other properties of this name in the Yucatán including Hacienda Kancabchén in Baca, Hacienda Kancabchén (Halachó), Hacienda Kancabchén (Homún), Hacienda Kancabchén (Motul), Hacienda Kankabchén (Seyé), Hacienda Kankabchén (Tixkokob), Hacienda Kancabchén (Tunkás) and Hacienda Kancabchén Ucí.
Toponymy

History
{{main|Haciendas of Yucatán}}
In 1940, the name was changed from Kancabchén to Kancabchén de Valencia and it changed from the Municipality of Izamal to the Municipality of Sudzal.
Demographics
All of the henequen plantations ceased to exist as autonomous communities with the agrarian land reform implemented by President Lazaro Cardenas in 1937. His decree turned the haciendas into collective ejidos, leaving only 150 hectares to the former landowners for use as private property.{{cite book|last1=Joseph|first1=Gilbert Michael|title=Revolution from without : Yucatán, Mexico, and the United States, 1880-1924|date=1988|publisher=Duke University Press|location=Durham|isbn=0-8223-0822-3|page=292|edition=Pbk.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YFS2oNvg1ygC&pg=PA297|accessdate=29 April 2015}} Figures before 1937 indicate populations living on the farm. After 1937, figures indicate those living in the community, as the remaining Hacienda Kancabchén de Valencia houses only the owner's immediate family.
According to the 2005 census conducted by the INEGI, the population of the city was 26 inhabitants, of whom 16 were men and 10 were women.{{cite web|title=Principales resultados por localidad (ITER)|url=http://www.inegi.org.mx/sistemas/consulta_resultados/iter2010.aspx?c=27329&s=est|website=Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía|publisher=Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía|accessdate=30 April 2015|language=Spanish|date=2010}}
