History
Antonia Nava de Catalán, a heroine of the Mexican War of Independence, was born in Tixtla.
Tixtla was also the birthplace of both Independence hero and Mexican president Vicente Guerrero (1783–1831) and writer and educator Ignacio Manuel Altamirano (1834–1893).
It served as the first capital of Guerrero, from 1851 to 1870, and the state constitution was promulgated there on 14 June 1851.
On 21 October 2006, a claimed Eucharistic miracle is said to have occurred at a parish in the city. On 12 October 2013, the then-Bishop of the Diocese of Chilpancingo-Chilapa Alejo Zavala Castro declared it a miracle, however it has not been yet approved by the Vatican.
