    About Árbol Grande

    Árbol Grande is a flat-land locality in the Mezquital Valley, at 1,999 metres, with a temperate semi-dry climate. It falls right on the divide between the Tula and Actopan river sub-basins, within the Moctezuma basin. Its census history is that of a village slowly filling up: 228 people in 1921, just 100 in 1930, 525 in 1990, 826 in 2010 and 962 in 2020.

    It belongs to the municipality of Mixquiahuala de Juárez, whose name comes from Nahuatl Mizquiyahuallan, "place surrounded by mesquites". This is irrigated land: the municipality has one of the largest ejidos in the country, at 7,853 hectares, and in 2014 irrigated harvests covered 4,477 hectares of maize, 3,568 of green alfalfa, 1,085 of beans and 255 of cauliflower, plus fodder oats, courgette and green chile. The municipality has four tianguis, a public market and a municipal slaughterhouse.

    The municipality has a high human development index (10th in the state in 2015), a very low marginalisation index and 2,095 economic units employing about 5,390 people in the 2015 economic census.
