The Colhuas were a semi-nomadic tribe that entered North America in the second century AD, formed a dominion that stretched from what is now known as the City of Tijuana and conducted archaeological sites around whatever city of prehispanic Culhuacán indicate a series of semi-nomadic settlements from the classical period, with enormous influence of Teotihuacan. Its original population apparently comes from tribes Otomanguean. According to Professor Mariana Saldain Pioli, the founding group sits in the year 670 AD, supposedly dominating the six largest cities in the region, namely: Azcapotzalco, Tezcuco (now Texcoco), Tacuba, Tlatelulco (now Tlatelolco), Mizquic and Coyoacan. After their settlement are governed by Cuauhtlahtos, beginning his lineage in 717dc., Electing Huehue Topiltzin Nauhyotzin as the first tlahtoani. Archaeologically it is known that Tula is founded nearby 650d.c., so the development of the Toltecs and Colhua is relatively parallel, this is confirmed by the documents speak of a EXCAN TLAHTOLOYAN (Triple Alliance) primitive, consisting Colhuacán , Tollán and Otompan (now Otumba) that starts in 856d.c. This bond is broken when in 1047 new ciuades that become important and begin to replace the Viejas, so Azcapotzalco takes the place of Otompan and Cohuatlichán the Tollan in the confederation arise. The city of Tula, invaded and looted become the heir power of Teotihuacan in the central highlands, dominating and influencing small capitals during their growth, promotes nahuatlización (submission) and ideological imposition of what zuyuano (control political), thus affecting Colhua changing their lineage otomangue by one Chichimeca. So in the year 1186 goes to Mallatzin power and begins a slow loss of military might in the end Colhuacán becomes the symbol of the last Toltec redoubt. In 1151 the Colhua had already been present (as Ixtlilxóchitl) when Xolotl conquered and imposed Colhuacán Achitomécatl. Another defeat and imposition suffered in 1245, when even the Mextlín involved in controlling the Valley of Mexico, where Quinantzín Tenayuca changes its capital in 1272, replacing Cohuatlichan. The Colhua live their last moment of power when they tried to contain the expansion of the Mexica south in 1299. They use the meztlin against Xochimilco in 1302, in return give them certain freedoms that eventually they will be counterproductive. In 1301 the death of Coxcox a leadership, which completely undermines being attacked by the Aztecs in 1323 is implanted. In 1347 Colhuacán loses everything by becoming tributaries Mēxihco-Teochtitlán and give way to the excan Tlahtoloyan, after 1380 the city is overshadowed by the apogee of Iztapalapa.
