TehuacÃ¡n, meaning â€˜Place of Stonesâ€™ in the native language of Nahuatl, is a centuries old city that lies in the Mexican state of Puebla, roughly 150 miles southeast of Mexico City. As much as 9,000 years ago nomadic people settled in the valley of TehuacÃ¡n, due in large part to the fertile soil and abundant supply of water. Around 4000 BC, the people of TehuacÃ¡n began cultivating many staple crops and, according to Paleo-botanist Richard Mcneish, were the very first to cultivate corn (maize).
