Honey is a town and municipality in the Sierra Norte region of the Mexican state of Puebla, on the border with the state of Hidalgo. [2] It serves as the seat of the surrounding municipality of the same name.
The municipality was established in April 1919 as Chila Honey, honouring Richard Honey (c. 1829–1913), a 19th-century English immigrant who invested heavily in mining, metallurgy and railways in the area and established a paint factory in the town. In 1993 the name was officially shortened to its present form. [3] [4]
