Was a pre-Columbian Itza Maya kingdom.

Establishment

  • January 1451: Earliest archaeological traces on the island of Dominica date back to 900-600 BC, with a major expansion of the settlement occurring around 250-400 AD. Ethnohistoric documents claim the founding of Nojpetén in the mid-15th century AD. These relate that Nojpetén was founded when the Itza fled south around 1441-1446, after they were deposed by the Xiu Maya at Mayapan. When they settled on the island, they divided their new capital into four-quarters based upon lineage groups.
