Metro Mixiuhca is a metro station located in Mexico City, Mexico. The icon station represents the silohuete of a woman with a new born baby in her hand. In the Nahuatl languaje this word means "Place of births". It got this name because of, once upon a time the "mexicas" that had left Aztlán got in the middle of the Valley of Mexico had to live for a long time in Tizapan, from there they were violently expeled. They ran out to the swamps around using their shields and spears as rafts for the women and children. They ran across three places: Mexizalzingo, Iztacalco and Temazcaltitlán, and precisely there, in that last place, one of the women gave birth to a child. And from then on that place changed its name to Mixiuhca.
