The State o Mexico is aften abbreviatit tae "Edomex" frae Estado de México in Spaingie). It is locatit in Sooth-Central Mexico. It is bordered bi the states o Querétaro an Hidalgo tae the north, Morelos an Guerrero tae the sooth, Michoacán tae the wast, Tlaxcala an Puebla tae the east an surroonds the Federal Destrict.

The state’s oreegins are in the territory o the Aztec Empire, which remained a poleetical diveesion o New Spain durin the colonial period. Efter unthirldom, Mexico Ceety wis chosen as the caipital o the new naition, its territory wis separatit oot the state. Years later, pairts o the state wur braken aff tae form the states o Hidalgo, Guerrero an Morelos. These territorial separations hae left the state wi the size an shape it haes the day, wi the Toluca Valley tae the wast o Mexico Ceety an a panhandle that extends aroond the north an east o this entity.

The name o the state is simply “México” accordin tae the Poleetical Constitution o the Unitit Mexican States o 1917, but tae distinguish frae baith the ceety an the kintra it is maist aften cried “Estado de México.”
