Texcoco de Mora is a city located in the State of Mexico, 25 km northeast of Mexico City. Texcoco de Mora is the municipal seat of the municipality of Texcoco. In the pre-Hispanic era, this was a major Aztec city on the shores of Lake Texcoco. After the Conquest, the city was initially the second most important after Mexico City, but its importance faded over time, becoming more rural in character. Over the colonial and post-independence periods, most of Lake Texcoco was drained and the city is no longer on the shore and much of the municipality is on lakebed. Numerous Aztec archeological finds have been discovered here, including the 125 tonne stone statue of Chalchiuhtlicue, which was found near San Miguel Coatlinchán and now resides at the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.
Several hypotheses seek to explain the etymology of the name Mexico which dates, at least, back to 14th century Mesoamerica. Among these are expressions in the Nahuatl language such as, "Place in the middle of the century plant" (Mexitli) and "Place in the Navel of the Moon" (Mēxihco) along with the currently used shortened form in Spanish, "belly button of the moon", used in both 21st century speech and literature. Presently, there is still no consensus among experts.
