Tozlan

Tozlan lay in the volcanic Tuxtla country near the Gulf of Mexico, at the eastern edge of the Mexica tributary province of Tochtepec. Archaeologists have connected the ancient settlement with Totógal in the western Tuxtla mountains, where finds include imperial Aztec-style pottery and obsidian. After the Spanish conquest Santiago Tuxtla was founded in the area, and in 1540 became the seat of an authority governing both Tuxtla and Cotaxtla.
