the Aztec, Maya, Inca, and Olmec civilization's.
Toltecs
It was the first civilization to rise in Mexico, around 1500 BC. It is considered the precursor of all remaining civilizations found in central and southern Mexico.

The Aztec civilization qualifies as such. Its capital city, Mexico-Tenochtitlan was founded on a marshy island of the Lake Texcoco on March 13, 1325.
Southern Mexico
There was a civilization named after a group of people called the Olmecs in what is now southern Mexico but the civilization died out around 400BC.
What is now Latin America has been populated for several millennia, possibly for as long as 30,000 years, so it is difficult to name a specific "first civilization of Latin America". The ancient Olmec Civilization is considered to be one of the earliest civilizations in Mesoamerica. They developed around 1200 BC in the southern Gulf Coast area of Mexico. The Zapotec civilization developed around 700 BC in the Valley of Oaxaca in Mesoamerica. The Mayas, the Incas, and the Aztecs existed in Latin America before the arrival of Europeans.

Olmec civilization lasted from around 1500 B.C. until about 400 B.C. They lived in southern Mexico in the areas now known as Tabasco and Veracruz.
The four major Mesoamerican civilizations were the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Zapotec. The Olmec civilization was primarily located in the Gulf Coast region of present-day Mexico, while the Maya civilization spanned southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras and El Salvador. The Aztec civilization was centered in the Valley of Mexico, particularly around present-day Mexico City. The Zapotec civilization was mainly located in the Oaxaca Valley in southern Mexico.
The two early American civilizations that developed in Mexico were the Olmec civilization and the Maya civilization. The Olmec civilization thrived from around 1400 to 400 BCE, known for their colossal stone heads. The Maya civilization emerged around 2000 BCE and reached its peak between 250 and 900 CE, known for their advanced writing system and impressive architectural achievements.
