Xalisco

Xalisco was a Nahua lordship on the Pacific slope of western Mexico, centred on Xalisco in what is now Nayarit. Its territory included Tepic.

Xalisco's farmers grew maize, beans, squash and cotton on terraces, while its merchants traded with central Mexico. Pupualtzin became its last ruler in 1516. Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán's campaigns overran western Mexico, and the kingdom fell in 1532; its lands were incorporated into the Spanish province of Nueva Galicia.
