About San Antonio The city captures the spirit of Texas. Now the eighth largest city in the United States, the city has retained its sense of history and tradition, while carefully blending in cosmopolitan progress. Culture and the flavor of Native Americans, Old Mexico, Germans, the Wild West, African-Americans and the Deep South all merge to make a unique and memorable visit. Close to twenty million visitors every year delight in the discovery of it’s charms.

For history buffs, the city is your place! Native Americans first lived along the San Antonio River, calling the area “Yanaguana,” which means “refreshing waters,” or “clear waters.” Spanish explorers and missionaries came upon the river in 1691, and because it was the feast day of St. Anthony, they renamed the river “San Antonio.” The founding of the city came in 1718 by Father Antonio Olivares, when he established Mission San Antonio de Valero, which became permanently etched in the annals of history in 1836 as The Alamo. Here, 189 defenders held the old mission against some 4,000 Mexican troops for 13 days. The cry “Remember the Alamo” became the rallying point of the Texan revolution against Mexico. Still preserved in the heart of downtown, today The Alamo is a shrine and museum. A tour of downtown San Antonio will show you centuries of history.
