The Moral-Reforma site had a long occupation from 300 BC until 1000 AD, initially as a village-type settlement that gradually gained regional importance as a center that controlled traffic on the San Pedro Mártir river bed, through which communication and the exchange of goods between the Mayan peoples of the Guatemalan Petén and those settled on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

From the epigraphic texts inscribed on the Moral-Reforma stelae, it has been possible to partially know the dynastic history of the site, which includes political alliances with the lordships of Calakmul and Palenque, around 662 and 690 AD respectively, and later on towards AD 750 become the head of a small independent province in the San Pedro Mártir region.
