Tenochtitlan

Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec empire, was founded by the Aztec or Mexica people around 1325 C.E. According to legend, the Mexica founded Tenochtitlan after leaving their homeland of Aztlan at the direction of their god, Huitzilopochtli. Huitzilopochtli instructed them to build their city in the location where they saw an eagle perched on a cactus while eating a snake.

This would be the signal that they had found their home.
