История
[ редактировать ]
По оценкам, толтеки прибыли в район, недалеко от Акопана в 674 году. К 1117 году еще одна коренная группа под названием Chichimecas прибыла к тому, что сейчас является Actopan и Mixquiahuila . В 1113 году Сиде дал Акопану имя «Маньятци». Акопан находился под властью Чичимека, пока император Моктезума II не добавил область, которая теперь является активированием к его владению. В 1521 году коренные натомии помогли лидеру Cuauhtémoc защитить Мексику от испанских колонизаторов.
Juan Gonzalez Ponce de Leon was one of the first Spaniards given encomendero status over Actopan in the early 1520s.[3]
The movement to convert the population to Roman Catholicism begin in 1526 with the Augustine Friars. By the year 1548 the temple and monastery in Actopan had already been built. It was declared a historic and artistic monument on February 2, 1933.
In 1531 Actopan was put under the jurisdiction of the corregidor of Iscuincuitlapilco. By 1568 it was made a separate jurisdiction with its own alcaldia mayor. Yolotepec was also within these domains. As of 1791 the population consisted of 20,000 Indios, 2,291 mestizos, 54 pardos and 1,474 Spaniards (this would be both creoles and peninsulares, and probably included some people with some indigenous ancestry).[4]
Actopan now consist of more than 20 communities, most of which names derive from the Otomi language.[5]
