History
Iztacalco was occupied relatively late, due to its position in the middle of historic
Lake Texcoco. Its first inhabitants came to extract salt from the lake. During the Mesoamerican Post-Classical Period, fell under the power of the Lord of
Texcoco, a member of the
Aztec Triple Alliance. After the fall of
Tenochtitlan to the
Spanish, Iztacalco was occupied by Franciscan missionaries, who founded a monastery dedicated to
Saint Matthew in the middle of the lake. Hola
