==History==
The area comprising Huitzo was inhabited as early as 1200 BCE. By 1400 AD a Zapotec village existed that was known by the name of ''Huijazoo'', a word that means ''Warrior Watchtower'' in the Zapotec language.〔 In 1522 Spanish troops arrived and founded the current city, giving it the name ''Gueixolotitlan''. However, by 1700 the name ''Huitzo'' had been adopted by the populace. When the first Roman Catholic monks arrived to evangelize the local population, they selected St. Paul the Apostle ''(San Pablo, in Spanish)'' as the patron saint of the village and erected a church by the same name. The church is notable for a large number of 16th-century and other colonial-era ''santos'', statues of the saints.〔(Santos in Oaxaca's Ancient Churches: San Pablo Huitzo ) Retrieved 2012-04-13〕 It was through the influence of the Catholic Church that the town arrived at its present name San Pablo Huitzo.〔
