Tlalnepantla de Baz Municipality

Tlalnepantla de Baz stretches across the northeastern part of the State of Mexico, featuring an exclave to the west separated by Gustavo A. Madero.

The territory became a significant settlement in the 11th century when a group led by Xolotl established the Tenayuca Oztopolco chiefdom in this region.

The name originates from Náhuatl words tlalli and nepantla, meaning land and middle respectively, reflecting the deep indigenous roots of this territory.

The municipality maintains extensive transportation connections through Mexibús, intercity buses, and Tren Suburbano, facilitating movement throughout the metropolitan area.

With over 2,700 industrial facilities, this municipality stands as one of Mexico's primary manufacturing centers, specializing in food processing, textiles, and chemicals.
