Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325 by the Aztecs (or Mexica as they called themselves). The Aztecs believed a prophecy that they would find the site for their new city where they would see an eagle, perched atop a cactus, eating a snake . The Aztecs saw this vision on what was then a small swampy island in Lake Texcoco. The vision that is now Mexico's coat of arms and on the Mexican flag.

Post this very significant question on the Library of Congress' website at: loc.gov and you will receive the answer quickly. For any and all questions contact this site. This is the best reference site I have ever found and I tell all people to use it for their questions.
