Zacazonapan

Zacazonapan was a small Nahuatl-speaking community in the Temascaltepec country, on the forested frontier between the Mexican highlands and Tarascan Michoacán. The region, earlier home to Matlatzinca and Otomi farmers, was conquered by Mexica armies under Axayácatl in 1475 and 1476 and garrisoned against the Purépecha.
