Ixtlahuacán del Río. Its name derives from the word Cuixui, which in the Náhuatl language means kite, and is interpreted as "place of kites", or in Purépecha language, "place of frogs or toads". The foundation of the town is awarded to the Purépechas (Tarascans) who repeatedly ventured through these valleys after the Saltpeter War (1480-1510) (Guerra del Salitre). As a third version about the origins of the municipality name, it is well known that the tribe of coquias settled in La Cofradía, two kilometers (1.24 miles) from the current town, whose name is conjectured the denomination comes from. Cuquío also depended on the Tonalteca kingdom.
As of 2005, the municipality had a total population of 19,176.
