History
It is assumed the site was first inhabited around the year 3000 B.C., first by the Toltecas, and afterwards by the Mexicas. Archeological sites exist in the four cardinal points of the community, which indicate a cosmological vision and possible ritual in the location of the settlement.
The Church of Saint Matthew the Apostle is located in the centre of the community. It is a seventeenth century archaeological monument and the primary attraction of visitors to Ixcuinquitlapilco. In the Victorian colony belonging to this community, one can find the established estate of Temoaya, which dates to the eighteenth century and was originally used as for farming and cattle raising, having characteristic elements of the estates of the times of Porfiriato, with a granary, warehouses, a reservoir for water, and a house for the foreman.
