Tlapacoyan

Tlapacoyan was a small Totonac town of the Sierra Norte de Puebla, bearing a Nahuatl name that refers to a crumbling mountain summit. Its people were a mix of Totonacs and Nahuas, and the cotton grown on its hills fed local markets and merchants, together with honey.

In the 1440s the armies of Moctezuma I conquered it and folded it into an Aztec tributary province that also contained Zacatlan; the province owed Tenochtitlan clothing and warrior costumes, and possibly labor service in Texcoco.
