San Antonio
History |
|
A small band of Spanish explorers and
missionaries came upon a river in 1691, and because it was the feast
day of St. Anthony, they named the river "San Antonio". The actual
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, where 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. |
