Amollan

Amollan, also called Amula, was a lordship in the southern highlands of Jalisco. Its territory extended toward the slopes of the volcanoes and included communities such as Tuxcacuesco, Tonaya and Zapotitlán. By 1580 a colonial account recorded a severe decline in the population of Amula, and the seat of the district had moved to Tuxcacuesco. Indigenous people from Amula founded the settlement of San Gabriel in 1576.
