Chimaltenango is a small city of some 43,900 people as of 2002 and the capital of the department of Chimaltenango. It is some 35 miles west of Guatemala City, on the Pan-American Highway. In Pre-Columbian times what is now the city of Chimaltenango was known as B'oko' . Like many other cities in the area, the Spanish Conquistadores used the name of their Nahuatl speaking allies from central Mexico. The city produces textiles and pottery.
