Etymology
The name Cutzamala comes from a Nahuatl word cutzamallot meaning "rainbow"; hence, "Place of Rainbows.” It was known to Purepecha speakers as "Apatzingani,” which has the same meaning. An alternative theory suggests it is derived from the Nahuatl word cutzamatl, meaning "weasel."[1]
History
19th Century

Eutimio Pinzón, often considered the hero of Cutzamala, was the general who defended the town during the Second French Intervention in Mexico in 1874.
