From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Huitzuco de los Figueroa or Huitzuco is located in Guerrero, Mexico. It was founded in the early 1800s. Different versions exist on the meaning of the word Huitzuco, the doctor Gutiérrez Tibón affirms that Huitzilizo comes from the words náhuatl: You prick with thorns, and the locativo co, for that that on the whole is interpreted as “Place of Thorns”, because their lands were covered with huizache.
