This area did not yet include the population centers of the towns of Coyoacán, Xochimilco, Mexicaltzingo and Tlalpan, all of which remained as part of the State of Mexico. This area was then separated from the State of Mexico, forcing the state's government to move from the Palace of the Inquisition (now Museum of Mexican Medicine) in the city to Texcoco. The choice was made official on 18 November 1824 and Congress delineated a surface area of two leagues square (8,800 ac) centered on the Zocalo. Under the guidelines of the 1824 Constitution, the capital was appropriated as federal land, with the federal government acting as the local authority. However, soon after, the federal government choose Mexico City as the capital of the new nation.
Mexico City was the capital of the state. The vast territory of the state was divided into eight districts:Acapulco, Cuernavaca, Huejutla, Mexico, Taxco, Toluca, Tula and Tulancingo. The first head of the state was Melchor Múzquiz.
This state still encompassed the vast territory of the old Aztec Empire. Īfter the War, the State of Mexico was created by the 1824 Constitution, with the first state congress convening in March of that year in Mexico City.
Evidence of ceramics appears around 2500 BCE with the earliest artifacts of these appearing in Tlapacoya, Atoto, Malinalco, Acatzingo and Tlatilco. Later crops include beans, chili peppers and squash grown near established villages. The main crop was corn, and stone tools for the grinding of this grain become common. Between 20,0 BCE, the people here eventually went from hunting and gathering to sedentary villages with farming and domesticated animals. Most have been found in the areas of Los Reyes Acozac, Tizayuca, Tepexpan, San Francisco Mazapa, El Risco and Tequixquiac. Stone age implements have been found all over the territory from mammoth bones, to stone tools to human remains. They are dated to the Pleistocene era which dates human habitation back to 20,000 years. The earliest evidence of human habitation in current territory of the state is a quartz scraper and obsidian blade found in the Tlapacoya area, which was an island in the former Lake Chalco.
