Ixtlan del Rio is both a municipality and municipal seat in the Mexican state of Nayarit. In 1995 the population of the municipality was 26,137 (21,474 in the municipal seat) and the total area was 581.4 km².
The name of Ixtlan is of nahuatl origin, composed of the words “Itz-ittztell” meaning obsidian, and “Tlan”, meaning place where it is found. So the name means “place where obsidian is found”, or “place of the obsidian knife.”
Ixlan, as it is known to locals, is located 149 kilometers south of the state capital Tepic and is connected to that city and Guadalajara by both rail and highway connections. The important coastal highway Route 15 passes through the city, while a toll road passes to the east.
