Before the northwestern region of the current state of Tlaxcala was inhabited, it represented, for the people who inhabited the basin of the Valley of Mexico and other pre-Hispanic groups, an important passageway or corridor that allowed them to travel to the Gulf and South Mesoamerica for commercial exchange purposes. Calpulalpan was part of this corridor. This region was occupied at a very late period. The recently explored archaeological zone of La Herradura seems to confirm the above.
