Acolman Municipality, Administrative municipality in State of Mexico, Mexico
The municipality extends across elevated terrain between 2254 and 2260 meters above sea level, containing the town of Acolman as its capital.
The settlement originated in the eighth century as a commercial center established by the Acolhuas, a Chichimeca group, before falling under Aztec control in 1396.
The former monastery of San Agustin, constructed between 1539 and 1580, stands next to the main plaza and contains substantial colonial period art and architecture.
The municipality provides essential services including water supply, public safety, street maintenance, and environmental protection to over sixty communities within its boundaries.
Archaeological excavations in Tepexpan revealed human remains dating back more than 12,000 years, connecting to a local myth about the first human emerging from Lake Texcoco.
