About Huamantla

This region of Tlaxcala was the domain of the Otomi people before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors. The Otomi were largely agrarian and did not have an established settlement. Huamantla was founded in 1534. It was the site of a battle in 1847 that pitted elements of Santa Anna's army against elements of the U.S. army under the command of Gen. Joseph Lane. During the Reform era, it was designated as the state capital of Tlaxcala from 1858 to 1863.
