The Lake Texcoco was a lake on which the Aztecs built a city called Tenochtitlan. The Spaniards later built Mexico City on Tenochtitlan, which is now the present day capital of Mexico. The lake is now completely drained.

The Aztecs built three major and powerful cities, Tenochitlan, Tlacopan and Texcoco. These cities were named the Triple Alliance. If you just want the name of one huge city I reccomend Tenochitlan because it was the biggest and the best designed. This city is now known as Mexico.
