Chapultepec is a hill that is preserved today in a park of the same name in modern Mexico City. The name means "Hill of the Grasshopper". It was the place that the Mexica settled when they entered the Valley of Mexico, according to their legends, before the earlier migrants to the valley evicted them. Chapultepec was a sacred place for the Aztecs. It continues to be important to modern Mexico as the location of the attack, commemorated on Cinco de Mayo, that dislodged the French colonial government from Mexico.
