1252 CE to 1263 CE

The dense population of the Valley of Mexico meant that there was nowhere to go when the Mexica arrived in  the region as a semi-nomadic tribe.

They had first settled on Chapultepec, a hill on the west shore of Lake Texcoco, the site of numerous springs, in roughly 1248.

The Republic of Mexico and its capital, Mexico City, derive their names from the word "Mexica".

The Mexica will be the dominant partner of the Aztec Triple Alliance, which is to become the hegemon over large parts of Mesoamerica in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
