Our farm is located among the City of Tipu. Tipu was situated on the west Bank of the Macal Branch of the Belize River, about nine kilometres south of San Ignacio, the capital of Cayo District. Author Grant D. Jones, following Initial suggestions by the well – known Maya ethno historian and archaeologist Sir Eric Thompson, pinpointed the probable location of the Tipu at the modern site of Negroman. Negroman is today under pasture, with the forest growth restricted largely to the lime stone hills that border the fertile valley. After many excavations, Kautz and his associates, author Elizabeth Graham assumed direction of the archaeological research and discovered buildings bordering Tipu’s Historic central plaza. Tipu was a center of rebellion maintaining it’s role as the political center of the Dzuluincicob province. A church at Tipu was constructed sometime in the last half of the sixteenth century facing directly west, as do virtually all Colonial period churches in the Yucatan. Located near the edge of a bluff overlooking the valley below, on the north side of a generous Plaza around which several structures of Historic construction have been excavated. It’s form is rectangular, with truncated corners, with facing entrances in the longer North and south sides.
The size of the church as well as its solid part-masonry walls reflects strong initial Spanish commitment to the conversion of the population. The large number of Christian interments suggests that Tipu was an active town in that latter part of the Sixteenth century. In 1697 the Spanish conquered Tayasal military and in 1707 they moved the residents of Tipu to the shores of Lake Peten Itza.
Tipu itself ceased to be a Maya Settlement, and the old location was soon occupied by seasonal British lumber camps as these new colonists pressed westward Into the valuable forests of Western Belize.
