Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa Message Board - Adiós DF https://www.zihuatanejo.net/tablero/ Information for visitors and locals about Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa, Troncones, Barra de Potosí and the surrounding region of the Costa Grande in Guerrero, Mexico en Adiós DF In case you all weren't aware, México DF is no longer a Distrito Federal. It remains the capital of the nation, but now it is simply Ciudad de México. Presidente Peña Nieto signed a document officially relinquishing federal control of the city, and now its mayor will be more like its governor as each borough will now elect its own mayor and city council.

While it will take a while for us to get used to, especially not calling the city DF or its residents defeños, the move is expected to be beneficial to the city as it acquires more autonomy.

Formalmente el Distrito Federal ha muerto; bienvenida la Ciudad de México

Mexico City officially changes its name to – Mexico City
