Tlatlauquitepec

Tlatlauquitepec was a town in the Sierra Norte de Puebla. Totonacs held the region before Nahua groups overran it in the late twelfth century.

Under Moctezuma I or his Texcocan ally Nezahualcoyotl, it became an Aztec tributary province, sending cloth, warrior costumes and liquidambar resin to Tenochtitlan. The lordship submitted to Spain in 1524 and became an encomienda. Franciscans from Tlaxcala founded the convent of Santa María de la Asunción in 1531; the town became a Spanish corregimiento in 1535.
