Texistepeque is a city and municipality in the Santa Ana department of western El Salvador. It lies in the center of the department, north of Santa Ana and south of Metapán. It was founded by the Poqomam Maya peoples and conquered by the Pipil people of Cuzcatlan until the Spanish conquest. The meaning of its name comes from Pipil Nawat language and means place of eggs or alternatively mountain of eggs; from Nawat teksis (eggs), and tepec or tepet (mountain) which indicates a place name.[1]
