Tehuacan Tehuacn is the second largest city in the Mexican state of Puebla, nestled in the Southeast Valley of Tehuacn, bordering the states of Oaxaca and Veracruz. The 2010 census reported a population of 248,716 in the city and 274,906 in its surrounding municipality of the same name, of which it serves as municipal seat. The municipality has an area of 390.36 km (150.72 sq mi).[1] Originally a Native American settlement, it became officially a city in the Viceroyalty of New Spain in 1660. According to the archaeologist Richard Stockton MacNeish, the Valley of Tehuacn is the first place maize was ever cultivated by humankind. He arrived at this conclusion when he found over 10,000 teoscintle cobs in what is now known as the Cave of Coxcatlan. In the late nineteenth century, the city was well known for its mineral springs. In fact, Peafiel (now owned by Cadbury Schweppes), a well-known soft drinks manufacturer, extracts water from these wells for use in their products. Tehuacan also has an important cluster of poultry producers, making the city and its surroundings one of the most important egg producing regions in Mexico. Geography Tehuacn is located in the southeastern part of the State of Puebla. Northern bordering cities are Tepanco de Lpez, Santiago Miahuatln, Vicente Guerrero y Nicols Bravo; Eastern Vicente Guerrero, San Antonio Caada y Ajalpan; Southern San Gabriel Chilac, Zapotitln, San Antonio Texcala y Altepexi; and Western Zapotitln, San Martn Atexcal, Juan N.

Glyph of Tehuacan This is the currently accepted glyph city of Tehuacn. It is based on the work of Felipe Franco's 1946 Geographic Indonimia Puebla State, same as inferred from the word Teohuacan, ie instead of gods or the sun. The glyph is interpreted as follows: At the bottom you can see a gum with teeth, which means "place". The album is a solar symbol, or sacred. Hence, to be known as Tehuacn "City of Gods", "Place of those gods", "Place of those with God" or more currently "Sun City".
