Huixquilucan de Degollado, Municipal district in State of Mexico, Mexico.

Located 28 kilometers from Mexico City, Huixquilucan de Degollado extends across 143 square kilometers at an altitude of 2,717 meters above sea level.

The municipality received its official designation in 1875 when it was declared Villa de Degollado and established as the administrative center of Huixquilucan district.

The name Huixquilucan originates from Nahuatl language, referring to an area filled with edible thistles that grew throughout the region.

The municipality offers digital services for residents to process property taxes, water payments, and access emergency information through their official government website.

The territory contains traces of four pre-Hispanic cultures: Otomi, Tepanec, Mexica, and Acolhua, each contributing to the regional development before Spanish colonization.
