His leadership marked the inception of the Aztec imperial dynasty, a pivotal moment that would shape the future of the region.

The chronicles detailing his reign present varying accounts of the years he ruled. According to the Codex Chimalpahin, Acamapichtli's reign spanned from the year thirteen sixty-seven to thirteen eighty-seven.
