Quiahuixtlan

Quiahuixtlan was one of the four principal lordships of Tlaxcallan in the central Mexican highlands. Its communities formed part of a confederation that resisted the Mexica and governed its affairs through several distinct rulers. At the arrival of the Spaniards, Citlalpopocatzin was remembered as its lord. The four lordships remained represented in the Indigenous council established under colonial rule, preserving elements of their older political organization.

The later city of Tlaxcala lies nearby.
