Melchor Ocampo is a town and municipality in State of Mexico, Mexico. The municipality covers an area of 32.48 km². As of 2005, the municipality had a total population of 37,706.〔 〕 == Name == From its founding until 1894, the municipality was known as Tlacomulco and then San Miguel Tlaxomulco; the latter portion comes from the Nahuatl words ''tlalli'' (earth); ''xomolli'' (corner or small place) and ''co'' of ''coztic'' (in), that is to say, "In some corner of the earth" or "a little corner of ground". In 1894, the legislature of the State of Mexico decreed that the place would be called "Ocampo". 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.melchor-ocampo.gob.mx/Municipio.php )〕 Currently it is known as Melchor Ocampo in honor of the deceased reformist politician and philosopher of that name. The symbol on the town flag (an "L" with the top ending in a ''fluer-de-lis'', with a rectangle leaning against its inside) is intended to represent the Náhuatl form of the town's old name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melchor Ocampo, State of Mexico」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
