Jiquipilco Municipality, Municipal administration center in State of Mexico, Mexico

Jiquipilco Municipality extends across 276.5 square kilometers on the southern and western slopes of Cerro La Catedral in the Toluca Valley region.

The municipality received its official recognition as San Juan Jiquipilco from Spanish authorities in 1593 and gained municipal status in 1824.

The region maintains strong connections to its indigenous roots through the presence of Otomi language speakers and traditional agricultural practices.

The municipality contains multiple ex-haciendas from colonial times, including Mañí, Nixiní, Santa Isabel, and Boximo, which are accessible to visitors.

Located at an elevation of 2,657 meters above sea level, the municipality derives its name from Nahuatl 'Xiquipilco', meaning 'in the saddlebags'.
