Ixcateopan was a place of cult and army garrisons inhabited by various native groups, such as the Cohuixcas, The Chontales and by the Aztecs, at the time when the latter were at war with the Purépecha.The city is known as the final resting place of Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec Tlatoani, whose remains were found under the parish church here in the mid-20th century.
