tuxpan

Tuxpan or Tuxpam (pronounced "TOOKSpahn" or in archaic native form, "TOOSHpahn") is a name shared by different cities in Mexico. In the native Nahuatl language, it literally means "Place of the Rabbits". The best known of these cities is the municipality of Tuxpan in Veracruz. Veracruz state is located in the eastern part of Mexico, on the Gulf of Mexico. Tuxpan is a port city, and is the closest port to Mexico City. In the past, Tuxpan had oil fields developed around it. Tuxpan is now primarily a grain port, with emphasis on soybeans and maize. Tuxpan is also an important port for maritime imports into Mexico. Sometimes referred to as the "Puerto de Tuxpan", Tuxpan is able to handle supertanker sized cargo ships. Due to increasing commercial shipping traffic in the city of Veracruz, Tuxpan is now the headquarters for the Mexican Navy's Gulf fleet. It is the home port for several military vessels including 3 missile cruisers purchased from the US Navy after their decomissioning following their last service in the first Persian Gulf War.
