    The Aztecs founded their capital city of Tenochtitlan in 1325 on islands in Lake Texcoco. By the 15th century, Tenochtitlan had grown to a large city of around 200,000 people and was the center of the powerful Aztec Empire, which dominated central Mexico and expanded further through conquest. The Aztecs were skilled engineers and builders, constructing Tenochtitlan with canals and causeways despite its location in a swamp. Maize was a dietary and economic foundation of Aztec civilization.
