History

The area that is now present day San Antonio was first occupied by the Yanaguana Indians and later explored by the Spanish from 1691 to 1709. The first Spanish explorers dubbed the area San Antonio, an homage to St. Anthony. The actual founding of the city was performed by Father Antonio Olivares with the official name of Mission San Antonio de Valero. Directly following this establishment was the addition of five more Spanish missions which were chartered by the Canary Islanders, all located along the San Antonio River. By 1749, the Spanish Governor’s Palace was built and the San Fernando de Bexar Church was added in 1758. By 1778, the population of the area grew to 2,000 which was made of Indians and settlers. The Spanish missions were all delegated tasks to separate them while the Mission Antonio de Valero became the military barracks. After this split in organization came a long period of war.

During the Texas Revolution, San Antonio was the site of several important battles including the Siege of Bexar in December 1835 and the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. The Battle of the Alamo would become one of the most memorable pieces of San Antonio history. During the Battle, 189 Mission defenders held the Alamo against approximately 4,000 Mexican troops for 13 days. Over the course of the next 10 years, battles ensued as San Antonio was juggled between Mexican and Texas occupation and management. After Texas entered the Union, a little more stability came to the area as well as rapid growth due to the servicing and distribution center established there. By 1850, the city’s population had grown to 3,500 and almost triple that size within the decade.

With the secession of Texas and the end of the Civil War, San Antonio began to flourish as cattle, distribution, mercantile, and military efforts in the area served the entire Southwest region. The city became the southern supplier hub of the cattle drives as well as had a developing market for merino sheep wool in Hill Country. All of this growth multiplied exponentially with the addition of the Galveston, Harrisburg, and San Antonio Railway in 1877 which was the area’s first transportation system. By 1900, San Antonio had become Texas’ largest city with more than 50,000 residents.

The charm and draw of present day San Antonio for tourists lies in the upkeep of the old Spanish walls, décor, Victorian-style mansions, and historic Spanish buildings and artifacts.

Education
