On April 7, 1897, the president of Mexico, Mr Porfirio Díaz signed a treaty in which the limits between British Honduras (now Belize) and the United Mexican States were established, whose dividing line would cross through the center of the canal Boca Bacalar Chico, a strait that separates the Xcalak Peninsula from the Ambergris Caye, in Quintana Roo.
Both actions had the objective of controlling the English arms traffic towards the Quintana Roo Mayan zone; on the border line this control was carried out in the newly founded Payo Obispo, today the state capital: Chetumal; and on the coast of Xcalak.

Faced with the war context, Brigadier Ortiz Monasterios, consul of Mexico, commissioned Eng. Rebolledo to find a place to build a port.
The chosen site was an area known as Xcalak, a Mayan word that means two or double, where there were two ravines in the barrier reef that would allow navigation.
