El Salvador - History. About 3000 BC , nomadic Nahuatl Amerindians, originally from present-day Mexico, migrated to Central America. The Pipil Amerindians were living in the region now known as El Salvador at the time of the Spanish conquest. They were an agricultural people, with a civilization similar to that of the Aztecs, except that the Pipil had abolished human sacrifice.
When the Spanish arrived in the 16th century, the country was dominated by the Pipils, descendants of NÃ¡huatl-speaking Toltecs and Aztecs - both Mexican tribes. It is thought that the Pipil came to central El Salvador in the 11th century, just after the Maya dynasty collapsed. They called the land CuscatlÃ¡n, which means Land of Jewels, and built their capital - now known as Antiguo CuscatlÃ¡n - outside San Salvador.
