Cuauhtémoc is a city of 114,000 people in the Mexican state of Chihuahua . The third largest city in the state is the administrative seat of the Municipio Cuauhtémoc . The city was named after the last Aztec ruler Cuauhtémoc . The place was originally called San Antonio de los Arenales and was little more than a train station. Only after the settlement of Russian Mennonites in the early 1920s did the place first develop into a business center for the Mennonite settlers and later into a city. Today around 50,000 German-speaking Mennonites live in the vicinity of Cuauhtémoc.
