The 2009 estimatit population for the ceety proper wis aroond 8.84 million fowk, an haes a land area o 1,485 square kilometres (573 sq mi). Accordin tae the maist recent definition greed upon bi the federal an state govrenments, the Mexico Ceety metropolitan area population is 21.2 million fowk makkin it the mucklest metropolitan area in the Americaes an the third mucklest agglomeration in the warld.
Mexico Ceety haes a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) o $390 billion USD in 2008, makin Mexico Ceety the aicht richest ceety in the warld. The ceety wis responsible for generatin 21% o Mexico's Gross Domestic Product an the metropolitan area accoontit for 34% o tot naitional GDP. As o 2008, the ceety proper, as opposed tae the metropolitan area, haed a nominal income per caipita o $25,258 USD, on par wi the GDP per capita o Portugal, an significantly abuin kintras lik the Czech Republic.
The ceety wis oreeginally biggit on an island o Loch Texcoco bi the Aztecs in 1325 as Tenochtitlan, that wis amaist completely destroyed in the siege o 1521, an subsequently redesigned an rebuilt in accordance wi the Spaingie urban staundarts. In 1524, the municipality o Mexico Ceety wis established, kent as México Tenustitlán, an as o 1585 it wis offeecially kent as La Ciudad de México (Mexico Ceety). Mexico Ceety served as the poleetical, admeenistrative an financial centre o a major pairt o the Spaingie colonial empire.

Efter years o demandin greater poleetical autonomy, residents war gien the richt tae directly elect the Heid o Govrenment an the representatives o the unicameral Legislative Assembly bi popular vote in 1997.
