The word TLALPAN comes from two náhuatl-origin words: Tlalli- earth and Pan- on; nevertheless, it has been added the word “Firme” (Firm), and it stayed as “Place of Firm Earth”. There, the first human settlement at the Mexico’s basin was recorded: Cuicuilco, which civilization was finished after volcano Xitle’s erup-tion. Tlalpan is located towards the south of the Federal District and has a 310-km surface.
