Acolhuacan

Acolhuacan or Aculhuacan (Nahuatl: ācōlhuahcān;[2] pronounced [aːkoːlˈwaʔkaːn]) was a pre-Columbian province in the east of the Valley of Mexico, inhabited by the Acolhua.

Its capital was initially Coatlichan,[3] but this settlement was eventually eclipsed in importance by Texcoco (Tetzcoco).

[5] Frances Berdan and Patricia Rieff Anawalt argue that it was likely Texcoco, Acolman, or Coatlichan, with the latter two being "the most likely prospects.

"[1] Additional scholars largely agree that Acolhuacan was likely another name for Coatlichan.
