Mexico City
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Mexico City is the capital and largest city in Mexico. It is also one of the most populous and polluted cities in the world. The Aztec people were here before the Spanish came and they made Mexico City. It was founded in 1521 by Hernán Cortés. Today, about 8.5 million people live in the city, and about 18 million live in the Greater Mexico City urban area. The city of Mexico City ceased to exist in 1928. Since then, there is only the Federal District.
Mexico is among the 5 most populated areas in the world (they are Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, New York and Sao Paulo).
