About half of the area is on ejidos, communal lands managed collectively by community groups formed after the Mexican Revolution. |

After the Revolution, agrarian reform, including the redistribution of land and the creation of ejidos took place here. |

There are 3,620 ejidos parceled out to 270,000 ejido members. |

After the war, the large landholdings were broken up and land redistributed into ejidos, or commonly held land, which benefitted many rural families. |
