Manzanilla lived its time of splendor during the Early Classic period.

The settlement has its origin in the Preclassic horizon, a little before our era. According to scholars, it seems that this site seems to be related with the same culture that built Teotihuacán during the Preclassic Period between 2500 B.C. to 200 AD.

The occupation area covers part of the foothills of the "La Malinche" volcano, where pine and oyamel vegetation was originally abundant.
