Tejutepeque is a district in the Cabañas department of El Salvador.[1] It has a population of 20,000.[citation needed ]
History
[edit ]Tejutepeque is thought to be one of 59 surviving settlements that already existed in 1524 when the Spanish first arrived in what is now El Salvador. It became a municipality in 1847 and was incorporated into Cabañas in 1873, having formerly been part of the Cuscatlán department. It officially became a town in 1879 and a city in 1996.[1]
The name of the municipality is composed of the Nahuat words "tejut" or "texut" meaning "embers", and "tepec" meaning "hill".[1]
Traditions
[edit ]Each October, the municipality has festivities in honor of its patron saint, Saint Raphael the Archangel. It also holds a special procession on Palm Sunday.[1]
