Mexico City has always been the capital of Mexico, but before the arrival of Spanish in the 16th century, it was named as Tenochtitlan and was founded on March 13, 1325.
Before the rise of the Aztecs, Mexico was a land with many small civilizations (or countries, if you prefer), including Toltecs, Teotihuacans, Tlaxcalans, Mayans and many more; so a "national capital" didn't exist at the time.
