Tzintzuntzan was founded in the 13th century by the Native American Tarascan or Purepecha nation, in whose language the name means "Place of the Hummingbirds". At the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, beginning in 1519, Tzintzuntzan was the capital of the Tarascan Empire, the most powerful cultural and political group in west central Mexico.
