The region was first settled by Mayan people between 200 and 300 CE; the city of Cancun didn't properly exist as the coast had only minor settlements and trading outposts, such as Yamil Lu'um and Tulum. The present-day island of Cancun was uninhabited until April 20 of 1970, when several investors with the help of the Mexican government started the works needed to build a resort city.
