Coatepec Harinas is one of 125 municipalities in the State of Mexico, Mexico. The municipal seat is the town of Coatepec Harinas. The original name is "Coauhtepetl" which means 'serpent hill' in Náhuatl. Around 1825 because of a boom in flour production, the name "Harinas" was added.{{cite web|url=http://www.e-local.gob.mx/work/templates/enciclo/mexico/mpios/15021a.htm |title=Enciclopedia de los Municipios de Mexico Estado de Mexico Coatepec Harinas |accessdate=2008-03-07 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070529100111/http://www.e-local.gob.mx/work/templates/enciclo/mexico/mpios/15021a.htm |archivedate=May 29, 2007 }}
