The town of Tzametepec was built on the side of a significant landform in the northern Zacaco valley of the same name. The placename Tzametepec derives from the Purépecha word Tzame to mean coyote and the Nahuatl Tepe(tl)-c denoting a hill or mountain. The site most likely gained its name in the medieval era, during or prior to the Angatahuacan conquest of the region, although it was never permanently settled before the foundation of the modern town. The location was chosen to be the site of the newly minted Azcatl association due to its proximity to the Central Valley Line, one of the important railways traversing the length of the Zacaco Valley, allowing easy access to material supplies and transport for the prospective business operations. The town itself as well as the factory district at its core was mostly built through late 1921 and early 1922 at the expense of the Public Works Secretariat, taking just 8 months for enough of the facilities to be built for production to begin, with an additional 3 months to complete the project.
