San Andrés Tuxtla, city, southeastern Veracruz estado (state), south-central Mexico. It lies on the slopes of San Martín Tuxtla volcano, along the Tuxtla River at an elevation of 1,181 feet (360 metres) above sea level. The town was founded by Ixtlecos Indians in 1664, after an eruption of the volcano, and was made a city in 1893. Corn (maize), high-quality tobacco, sugarcane, and fruits all flourish in the hot, rainy climate, but San Andrés Tuxtla is best known as the centre of one of Mexico’s most important bean-growing regions. Cattle are also raised in the vicinity, and handicrafts made of palm fronds are manufactured in the city. It is a rail terminus and is on the highway linking Veracruz, to the northwest, and Minatitlán, to the southeast. The city also has an airfield. Pop. (2000) 54,853; (2010) 61,769.
