Amapa is a community located east of Mexico City. It was founded in 1769 after the black slaves insurrections at the sugar mills and plantations of sugar cane in the Village of Córdova occurred between 1725 and 1735.

This town was originally named 'Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de los Morenos Cimarrones de Amapa'.

Among the first founders and benefactors of this town are Don Andrés Fernández de Otañez, el Padre José Antonio Navarro, el Provisor y Obispo de la Puebla Manuel Ignacio Gorospi, Don Pedro de Obando and for the Free black slaves the Captain Fernando Manuel and Rosa María.

Finally, in 1767 an agreement was reached between the alcalde mayor of Teutila and the cimarrones for establishment of a town and curacy and a declaration of freedom for its inhabitants.
