Indians of more advanced culture than surrounding tribes occupied a village on this site around the year 1500. They were strangers to this region and their cannibalism made them unsatisfactory neighbors. The strength of their stockade walls proves they lived in a hostile world. The original village had a population of about 500. The area enclosed by the stockade contained about 21 acres and within the stockade were cornfields as well as houses and temples. Eventually the village was destroyed by other local Indian tribes, leaving no known survivors of the Aztalan people.
