Azcapotzalco ( ; ; from āzcapōtzalli "anthill" + -co "place"; literally, "In the place of the anthills") is a borough (demarcación territorial) in Mexico City. Azcapotzalco is in the northwestern part of Mexico City.
The town began in the pre-Hispanic era and was the seat of the Tepanec dominion until the Aztec Triple Alliance overthrew it. After that it was a rural farming area becoming part of the Federal District of Mexico City in the mid-19th century. In the 20th century the area was engulfed by the urban sprawl of Mexico City. Today it is 100% urbanized and is a center of industry.
