**Jamapa** is a [municipality](/source/Municipalities_of_Veracruz) in the [Mexican state](/source/List_of_Mexican_states) of [Veracruz](/source/Veracruz) which stands on [Federal Highway 137](/source/Mexican_Federal_Highway). Its name comes from [Nahuatl](/source/Nahuatl) Xam-a-pan, meaning 'in the river of the adobes'.[2] The municipality was established on 17 February 1870.[3]

It had a population 11,132 in 2020.[1] Jamapa borders [Manlio Fabio Altamirano](/source/Manlio_Fabio_Altamirano) to the north and west, [Medellín](/source/Medell%C3%ADn) to the north, south and east, [Cotaxtla](/source/Cotaxtla) to the west and south.[4]

Jamapa is very agricultural as a region;[5] major products are corn, coffee, fruits, and sugar.

On 10 November 2020, municipal president Florisel Ríos Delfín (a [PRD](/source/Party_of_the_Democratic_Revolution) member) was kidnapped and assassinated.[6] Her body was found in [Medellín de Bravo](/source/Medell%C3%ADn_de_Bravo) the next day.[7][8]
