State (pop., 1995 est.: 1,747,000), SE Mexico. It covers an area of 9,522 sq mi (24,662 sq km); its capital is Villahermosa. Pre-Columbian Indian cultures included those of the Quich\u00e9 , Olmec, Tabasca, and Nahua. The area was first visited by Europeans in 1518; in 1519 H. Cort\u00e9 s first clashed with the Indians, who were partially subdued in the 1530s and 1540s. It became a state in 1824.

The state now has over 30 oil fields.
