Otzoloapan Municipality is a municipality located at the southeast of the State of Mexico. The name is from the Náhuatl 'Oceloapan' which means "river of lynxes". It is located in the southwest part of the state bordering the state of Michoacán.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Enciclopedia de los Municipios de Mexico Estado de Mexico Otzoloapan ) 〕 ==Municipal seat== The area was first settled by the Matlatzincas in the pre-Hispanic era. In 1476, it became subject to the Aztec Triple Alliance when Axayácatl conquered Matlatzinca lands. After the Spanish conquest, the land in the area was redistributed among the Spaniards, with Juana Gamboa getting Tejupilco and Otzoloapan. Then he built a sugar mill here to process the cane growing in the surrounding area. The area was probably first evangelized by the Franciscans, and the parish of Otzoloapan was founded by Juan Marqués del Aguila, in 1560 by order of Hernán Cortés. This is considered to be the beginning of the town.〔 The village had a population as of 2005 of 1, 586.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Principales resultados por localidad 2005 (ITER) )〕 * There is a chapel called "Zuluapan" that is located in the plaza principal.
