Tihuatlán Municipality, Administrative municipality in northern Veracruz, Mexico.
Tihuatlán Municipality is an administrative division in northern Veracruz featuring both urban settlements and agricultural zones across its territory. The region borders Temapache and Tuxpan, with land used for residential areas and farming.
The municipality was established in 1598 and carries a name rooted in Nahuatl language. The term cihua-tlan means place of women, preserving a connection to the region's indigenous past.
The municipality celebrates Saint Francis of Assisi in October and honors the Virgin of Guadalupe in December, reflecting strong religious traditions rooted in daily life. These observances bring communities together and shape the local calendar throughout the year.
The region has a warm, wet climate year-round that supports continuous agricultural activity. Visitors will find maize, beans, green chile, and orange cultivation throughout the area.
Most residents live outside the municipal seat, spread across rural areas rather than concentrated in one center. This distribution reveals how the region functions as a network of smaller communities rather than a single urban hub.
