History
Tochpan was a Huastec settlement. It was a prehispanic commercial center due to its location on the gulf coast, and it held a market every twenty days (corresponding to a veintena) which drew merchants from the Valley of Mexico and Tulancingo. Local resources included wood (such as cedars), chicle, fish, shrimp, and tortoises. It is unclear which Aztec emperor conquered Tochpan, but at some point it was incorporated into the Aztec Empire and became the center of a tributary province that also included Papantla and probably Tuzapán. The province offered clothing, turquoise, jade, feather down, warrior costumes and chilies in tribute to either Tenochtitlan or Tetzcoco. The clothing, feathers and paper were given directly to the departing army. It also provided provisions for Moctezuma I's army. Nezahualcoyotl reportedly received clothing and palace servants from here.
