What state in Mexico contains Mexico City?

Answer 1

It is on the Federal District (Spanish: Distrito Federal), a political entity which belongs to the federation, not to any given state.

It has the same kind of status as Washington DC has in the United States.

Answer 2

It is a city in central Mexico (19° 25' 57.85'' N, 99° 07' 59.71'' W) with an elevation of 2,240 meters above sea level (about 7,349 feet) and some 380 Kilometers (236 miles) to the closest beach (Tecolutla, on the Gulf of Mexico).

Answer 3

Three actually: greater Mexico City is located within 16 boroughs of Distrito Federal, 40 municipalities of Mexico State (capital: Toluca) and one municipality of the state of Hidalgo (capital: Pachuca).

Mexico City is a pretty large urban conglomerate spanning 7,854 square kilometers (3,032.4 sq mi). The city is located within a federal entity or subdivision in Mexico, known as the Federal District (Spanish: Distrito Federal) much akin to Washington DC in the United States. The Federal District has an area of 1,485 square kilometers (573.36 sq mi). Therefore, greater Mexico City fills and overflows the Federal District's boundaries. That is the reason why many people confuse the Federal District with Mexico City.

Mexico City does not belong to any of the thirty-one Mexican states; rather, it belongs to the federation as a whole.

Answer 5
