Jiutepec
Jiutepec is a city and its surrounding municipality in the Mexican state of Morelos. The city serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding municipality of the same name.
Over recent decades Jiutepec has merged into neighbouring Cuernavaca so that on its northeasterly edges it forms one geographically contiguous urban area with the latter. The Cuernavaca metropolitan area not only includes these two municipalities, but also Temixco, Emiliano Zapata, Xochitepec, and Tepoztlán municipalities, for a total population of 787,556.
The city of Jiutepec had a population of 153,704 while the municipality reported 181,317 inhabitants in the census of 2005. The city and the municipality both rank second in population in the state, behind only the city and municipality of Cuernavaca. The municipality has an area of 70.45 km² (27.2 sq mi); its largest community besides Jiutepec is the town of Progreso.
The name Jiutepec comes from the Nahuatl name “Xiutepetl”, which means “the precious stones hill”.
