Huatusco is a small city and historic capital of Veracruz, Mexico, on the way to the current state capital, Xalapa. It was originally established by the Tlaxcalans, who named it the place where the Big Rabbit was. They fought fiercely against the Spanish during the Revolutionary War and were later declared the capital of the insurgents of Veracruz. During the American invasion, when the United States occupied Xalapa, the state government moved to the city. Many important people passed through the city, including President Juarez, the first president Victoria and Emperor Maximilian.
