Churubusco

Churubusco

▪ historical district, Mexico City, Mexico
      neighbourhood of the Federal District of Mexico, lying on the Río Churubusco; it was formerly a southeastern suburb of Mexico City until its annexation in 1970. Known as Huitzilopocho by the Aztecs, it was a town of considerable importance before the Spanish conquest. It contains a massive stone convent built by the Franciscans in 1768 on the site of an Aztec temple. Mexican forces under Gen. A.L. de Santa Anna and U.S. forces under Gen. Winfield Scott fought at Churubusco on Aug. 20, 1847. The U.S. forces overcame the stubborn Mexican resistance after a bloody three-hour battle.

      Churubusco has been the centre of Mexico's motion-picture industry and is the home of the Churubusco Country Club, which has an excellent golf course and tennis courts.
