An additional marker, "The Original Name of Toluquilla" | Additional Description: This additional marker is also along the walkway up to the visitors center and site entrance. It reads:
El Nombre de Toluquilla
En esta región habitaban grupos Chichimecas entre los que había Pames, Jonaces y Ximpeces, quienes fueron exterminados por los españoles. Estos trajeron entonces pobladores mexicas que renombraron los parajes y cerros. Así, Toluquilla viene de una palabra náhuatl que significa Cerro Jorobado; el nombre se debe a la vista que tiene desde el norte.

English:
The Original Name of Toluquilla
This region was inhabited by the Chichimecas, composed of various groups such as the Pames, Jonaces and Ximpeces. Eventually all were exterminated by the Spaniards who subsequently brought in new inhabitants, the Mexicas, who renamed the sites of the area. Therefore Toluquilla comes from the náhuatl word meaning stooped, or humpbacked hill.
