Their legends have the people who were to become the Aztecs arriving from the north into the Anahuac valley around Lake Texcoco.
The location of this valley and lake is clear -- it is the heart of modern Mexico City -- but little else can be known with certainty about their origin.
Tenochtitlán, Texcoco, and Tlacopan formed an alliance that came to dominate the Valley of Mexico, and then extended its power beyond.

According to legend, when the Mexicas arrived in the Anahuac valley around Lake Texcoco, they were considered by the other groups as the least civilized of all.
After the fall of Tula, in the 12th century, in the valley of Mexico and surroundings, there were several city states of Nahua-speaking people: Cholula, Huexotzingo, Tlaxcala, Atzcapotzalco, Chalco, Culhuacan, Xochimilco, Tlacopan, etc. No single one of them was powerful enough to dominate other cities, and they were somewhat united by a common Toltec background.
In the 13th and 14th centuries, around the Lake Texcoco in the Anahuac Valley, the most powerful of these city states were Culhuacan to the south, and Azcapotzalco to the west.

 Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City (Ciudad de México), capital of the country and seat of the central government, lies at an altitude of over 2200 m (7300 ft) in the Valley of Mexico or Valley of Anáhuac, a high valley surrounded by mighty mountain ranges.
Owing to the city's high altitude it has an equable climate which suits visitors from more northerly regions, and its situation is breathtaking, seeming to lie at the foot of two magnificent snow-covered volcanoes rising to over 5000 m (16,000 ft), Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.
The valley's once crystal-clear mountain air has been replaced by a bell-shaped cloud of pollutants, usually blotting out the view of the city's magnificent mountain backdrop while at the same time giving rise to streaming eyes and respiratory problems.
