==History== thumb|Section of Juan Manuel Martínez Caltenco's mural work in the municipal building depicting the municipality's history The name "Atlixco" comes from a Nahuatl phrase which can be interpreted as either "water in the valley" or "water on the ground". Its main economic activity has earned the city the suffix of de las flores ("of the flowers"). The city of Atlixco received its coat of arms from King Philip II in 1579, which now represents the entire municipality.
