About Metepec

Metepec is a town and municipality within the State of Mexico in Mexico and is placed without delay to the east of the nation capital, Toluca, at an altitude of 2,635 metres above sea degree. The centre of Mexico City lies some 50 km similarly to the east. The call Metepec comes from Nahuatl that means hill of the maguey vegetation. However, it is also recognized inside the Matlatzinca language as "Nepinta-Tuhi" that means 'humans of corn land' and in the Otomi language as "Ntaguada". The city centre lies at the foot of the hill that offers the metropolis and municipality its call. There has been a network here for the reason that Otomis and Matlatzincas settled in this a part of the Valley of Toluca: the Matlatzincas reached their cultural height between AD 1120 and 1450 as part of the Teotihuacan culture.

The Aztecs conquered this network, at the side of the rest of the location by using AD 1470 by means of the tlatoani named Axayacatl. The Spanish arrived here in AD 1526 obliterating native rites that were practiced at the "maguey hill" and constructed a church there, now-known as the Ex-convento de San Juan, renaming the place San Juan Bautista Metepec. According to the Codex of Metepec the Spanish metropolis changed into founded inside the same 12 months.
