It also serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding [[Teziutlán Municipality]]. The municipality has an area of 84.2&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> (32.51 sq mi) and a population of 88,970.

Teziutlán is described in some guidebooks as a "picturesque [[New Spain|colonial]] town". It was founded (by spaniar) on 15 March 1552 at a location known to the locals as "Teziuhyotepetzintlancingo". means "Little mount with hailstones". The name ''Teziutlán'' is [[Nahuatl]], and means "place with hailstones".

During the presidency of [[Porfirio Díaz]], the town gained prosperity, and it is described as "a commercial town of importance, very often visited by traveling salesmen from businesses in this country and abroad... It depends on a group of businesses that handle significant capital and sell on a large scale in the principal markets of Europe and the United States."<ref>José Mendizábal, ''Almanque de efemérides del Estado de Puebla para el año de 1898'' (Mexico 1898, p. 70) quoted in [[Enrique Krauze]], ''Mexico: Biography of Power''. New York: Harper Collins 1997, 491.</ref>  Teziutlán was linked to the expanding railway network during the Porfiriato presidency, which aided its prosperity.
