Nequecheri

Nequecheri was the name associated with an indigenous lord and his territory around Xalteva, near the shore of Lake Nicaragua. His domain extended toward the settlements of Diriomo and Niquinohomo on the nearby uplands. The Spanish founded Granada beside the lake in the sixteenth century. Its access to the San Juan River made the town an important commercial centre linking the lake with the Caribbean.

The later city of Managua lies here.
