Cuauhnahuac (Cuernavaca) (1430s)
On the Norse and Aztecs map as “Cuauhnahuac — cotton cloth”
1430s — Conquered by Itzcoatl, the warm valleys of Cuauhnahuac, modern Cuernavaca, grew cotton and paid tribute in cotton cloaks to Tenochtitlan. Their lower altitude and warmer climate produced crops that the frost-prone basin could not grow.
