Ixtlahuacán del Rio is a town and municipality in the center of the Mexican state of Jalisco, a little less than 50 kilometres (31 mi) from state capital Guadalajara. It stands at 1,655 metres (5,430 ft) above sea level; the climate is semi-arid, with a mild winter and an average annual temperature of 19 °C (66 °F).[2]
Pre-Hispanic antecedents of Ixtlahuacán del Río
[edit]Ixtlahuacán is a word of Nahuatl origin; the name means "flat place". It was founded by the Toltecs in approximately AD 610; it is hard to be certain of the exact date of founding, because none of the groups who inhabited the region — Tecuexes, Tepehuanes, Coanes, Cazcanos, and Zacatecos — had a written language in this period.
Toponymy
[edit]Ixtlahuacán is a word of Nahuatl origin, it is the union of the words "Ixtláhuatl" (plains) and "Can" (place); therefore, it means: "Place of Plains" .[3]
History
[edit]It was founded by the Toltecs at the beginning of the 7th century when they passed through the region. Possibly he was first in Tlacotán where tribes settled Totonacas, Tepehuanes, and Coanes, the founders being the Tepehuanes, who stood out for their belligerence.
