Ixtenco is a municipality in the Mexican state of Tlaxcala.[1]
Ixtenco covers a territory of roughly 43.5 km². Apart from the town of Ixtenco, which is the seat of the local government, the municipality contains only one other community, called Miguel Muñoz León.[2][3] The municipality borders the municipalities of Huamantla and Trinidad Sánchez Santos, as well as the State of Puebla.[2] The municipal government consists of a municipal president, one syndic and seven representatives called regidors.[4] The terrain sits on an old lava flow which determines the areas soil composition and underground water flows.[5]
From its past, the municipality contains the ruins of two major haciendas from the 18th century. The San Antonio Cuauhtla Hacienda is still largely intact, while the San Cristóbal Haciendia is in ruins.[6]
