The name Cutzamala comes from a Nahuatl word cutzamallot meaning "rainbow"; hence, "Place of Rainbows.” It was known to Purepecha speakers as "Apatzingani,” which has the same meaning. An alternative theory suggests it is derived from the Nahuatl word cutzamatl, meaning "weasel."[1]
19th Century
The first battle in the Tierra Caliente region happened in Cutzamala in 1810. In 1860, during the Reform War, Cutzamala was besieged by the Liberals with a force of 4,500 men in the Siege of Cutzamala. The Liberals eventually won the town.[2]
Eutimio Pinzón, often considered the hero of Cutzamala, was the general who defended the town during the Second French Intervention in Mexico in 1874.
