Cuauhteopan

Cuauhteopan, recorded as Quiauhteopan in colonial codices, was a Nahua town in the mountains of eastern Guerrero, southwest of Olinalá.

Tenochtitlan’s Moctezuma I and Texcoco’s Nezahualcóyotl both claimed its conquest; the town was subdued in the Guerrero campaign of 1458. Under Aztec rule it became the seat of a small tribute province recorded in the Matrícula de Tributos, delivering eighty copper axes and forty copper bells every six months.
