Ixtapan del Oro is a town and municipality in the State of Mexico, in Mexico. The name “Ixtapan” comes from Nahuatl and means 'in the place of little salt'. "del Oro" is Spanish, meaning 'of the gold'. This name was added in 1894 when some veins of gold were found here.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Enciclopedia de los Municipios de Mexico Estado de Mexico Ixtapan del Oro ) 〕 ==The town== It is a small town of only 913 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Principales resultados por localidad 2005 (ITER) )〕 This town is located at the western limits of Mexico State.
