🇲🇽 Villa de Tututepec de Melchor Ocampo is a town and municipality in Oaxaca in south-western Mexico.
1History Before the arrival of Spanish, the area was occupied by a small Mixtec kingdom, established in 357 AD, when Prince Mazatzin arrived from Tilantongo. Upon climbing a mountain full of seabirds, Prince Mazatzin decided to found his capital in this beautiful location, calling it “Yucu – Saa”, or "Bird mountain" in the Mixtec language.
Tututepec served as a Mixtec capital under Eight Deer Jaguar Claw, maintaining its independence despite coming under attack from the Aztecs between 1483–1519.
When the conquistador Pedro de Alvarado arrived March 3, 1522, he defeated Tututepec's warriors, who fought under Cuaxintecutli (Venerable Lord Serpent). Cuaxintecutli died from torture on March 22, 1522. In April 1522, Hernán Cortés moved the Villa de la Segura de la Frontera to Tututepec, and installed Gutierre de Badajoz as the first mayor.
