Ciudad Cuauhtémoc is a city in the Huasteca Alta region of the Mexican state of Veracruz. It serves as the municipal seat of the surrounding Pueblo Viejo Municipality.
The name honours Cuauhtémoc (c. 1502 - 1525), last tlatoani of the Aztecs.
In the 2005 INEGI Census, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc reported a total population of 8,950.[1]
The settlement was founded in the early years of the Conquest, in the early 16th century, by Fray Andrés de Olmos. It was given city status in 1980.[2]
