The Kingdom of Mexico (Spanish: Reino de México), officially the Kingdom of Mexico and Michoacán, was an administrative territorial entity within the Spanish Monarchy, governed politically by the Viceroyalty of New Spain from 1535.
Initially, the Kingdom of Mexico was subdivided into the provinces of México, Puebla Los de Ángeles, Antequera, Valladolid, Pánuco and Mérida. During the enforcement of the Constitution of 1812, Mexico, like other kingdoms in the Indies, was incorporated into the Kingdom of Spain as a province, establishing the province of New Spain, which was composed of intendancies.
