History

In prehispanic times, Teloloapan was a large Chontal town dominated by a main street. Its ruler bore the title tletecutli and it fought wars against the Purepecha Empire. The relaciones geográficas reported that an unattested language referred to as "Ixcuca" was spoken in a particular quarter of Teloloapan in the 16th century, but nothing more is known of this language.
