TEHUANTEPEC (from tecuani-tepec" jaguar-hill ")

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 507 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEHUANTEPEC (from tecuani-tepec" jaguar-hill ") , the town which gives its name to the
isthmus
 , gulf and railway, stands on the
Tehuantepec
  river about 15 M. from its mouth and 13 M. by rail from Salina Cruz. Pop. (1904, estimated) fo,000. It is a typical, straggling Indian town, occupying the slope of a hill on the Pacific side of the divide, with a beautiful view of the river valley and the distant sierras to the N. The streets are little more than crooked paths up the hillside, and the habitations are for the most part thatched, mud-walled huts. The population of the town and of the surrounding
district
  is composed almost wholly of Indians of the
great
  Zapoteca family. The Tehuanas of
Tehuantepec
  are noted for the beauty and graceful carriage of their women, who are reputed to be the finest-looking among the native races of
Mexico
 . The women are the traders in Tehuantepec and do little menial worka result, apparently, of the influence of beauty. The local
industries
  include the making of " cana," acane spirit, and the weaving of
cotton
  fabrics,- dyed with the juice of a marine shell-fish (Purpura patula) found on the neighbouring
coast
 . Indigo was formerly grown in. the vicinity and cochineal gathered for export, but both of these
industries
  have declined.
