Mammoths were driven into bogs where they were severely slowed and eventually killed with fluted points as early as 9000 BCE or as late as 7000 BCE. Tepexpan can be considered one of the most important towns in the municipal region of Acolman. It has many resources, among these: obsidian and pewter. Tepexpan has a church named Santa Maria Magdalena, located near the central plaza. It is one oldest of the region and it was built near the first years of the Spanish conquest.
