Tlaltenangoo is located in the southwestern part of the Mexican state of Zacatecas. The common elevation of the municipality is 1,723 meters above sea degree and the municipality covers a place of 808.082 rectangular kilometers. The municipality lies in a valley bordered via the Sierra de Morones and lies at the banks of the Tlaltenango River, which runs north and is a tributary of the Bolanos River. In 1530, the Valley of Tlaltenango changed into inhabited via the indigenous Caxcans who farmed the land at the river banks and simply loved the abundance of flora and fauna of the mountain ranges that surrounded the valley.

Which means of the word Tlaltenango in the Caxcan language eludes to the mountainous landscape of the valley. Between these partitions, the Sierra del Mixton to the east and the Sierra de Tepeque to the west, transited Nuno Beltran de Guzman and his soldiers, leaving, in keeping with the historian Peter Gerhard, a course of corpses and destroyed homes and crops, impressing surviving adult males into carrier and leaving women and kids to starve. Frame 56 of the Lienzo de Tlaxcala describes a warfare wherein the Caxcans of Tlaltenapa defended their lands in opposition to the Spanish and their Tlaxcaltec allies.
