Otompan

 ( Lost Ancient Cities And Towns ) 

Otompan (Nahuatl for "place of Otomi people") or Otumba (the Spanish language version of the name) was a pre-Columbian altepetl or city-state in the upper Teotihuacan Valley (now in Mexico).

According to histories written in the colonial Mexico (16th and 17th centuries), Otompan was created around 1395 when Techotlalatzin, ruler of Texcoco, settled Otomi people there who were fleeing the conquest of Xaltocan by the under Tezozomoc.
