Texcaltitlán
Texcaltitlán is a town and a municipality of the State of Mexico in Mexico. It is located 65 km from Toluca on the high plains south of the Nevado de Toluca volcano. The name Texcaltitlán comes from the Nahuatl: texcalli = “rock”; titla= "among", with the complete meaning as “among rocks”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Enciclopedia de los Municipios de México: Estado de México: Texcaltitlán )〕
==The town==
The area now known as Texcaltitlán was settled at least as early as 800 AD, possibly as early as 300AD. It was dominated by the Teotihuacán civilization, then by the Toltecs and lastly, between 1250 to 1520 it was dominated by the Aztecs. During the late Aztec Empire, Texcaltitlán was an important town and was the head of the towns of Temascaltepec, Tejupilco, and Tuzantla, as well as a number of communities that no longer exist such as Ciutepeque, Ocelotequepue, Yexvaca, Cuahtepeque, Oztotitipac, Tlapatlapan and Melamamaloya. After the Spanish Conquest, the area came under the governorship of Don Antonio de Caicedo. In the 18th century, the town suffered from outbreaks of the black plague leading the Franciscans to build their church in nearby San Francisco Coaxusco, rather than in the town itself in 1775. The first church built in the town was built in 1789. During the Mexican Revolution, the town was sacked various times, with the principal targets being businesses, esp. those tied to the nearby city of Toluca. Texcaltitlán's history for the rest of the 20th century consists of modernization of its infrastructure and increasing economic ties with Toluca, the state capital.〔
As of 2005, the town had a population of 2,361 people and is situation at an altitude of 2,400 meters above sea level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Principales resultados por localidad 2005 (ITER) )〕 The church in the town of Texcaltitlán is surrounded by black battlements dating from the eighteenth century and wooden baroque-style altarpieces that are in the chapels of the communities of Santa Maria and San Francisco. Tuesday is market day in Texcaltitlán and is one of the oldest traditions of the municipality, which has been preserved from the time of the first settlers. Now is one of the biggest in the State of Mexico.〔
