Tecpatitlan

Tecpatitlan was a Tecuexe chiefdom in the river valleys of Los Altos, in what is now Jalisco. Its Nahuatl name meant place of flint or hard stone; nearby Mitic and Acatic were among the region's rival chiefdoms.

In 1530 Nuño de Guzmán's army passed through during the conquest of Nueva Galicia. The town joined the Caxcan-led Mixtón War against the Spanish in 1541, but Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza crushed the rising. The Spanish later built Tepatitlán on the same site.
