Tenamaxtlan

Tenamaxtlan was the seat of a lordship in the uplands of western Mexico. At the arrival of the Spanish its ruler was known as Tenamaxtle or Tenamaxtla, and his domain included Atengo, Ayutla, Soyotlán, Cuyutlán and Tepantla. The Spanish conquered the region in 1524–1525. In the early nineteenth century Tenamaxtlan remained a local centre, with Atengo and Soyatlán among its dependent towns.
