Interesting Facts About San Antonio
San Antonio was established as a Spanish military garrison in 1718, though Europeans had been pestering the local Indian tribes since 1691. The original settlement along San Pedro Creek was moved in 1724 to what's now downtown San Antonio. Known originally as the Misión San Antonio de Valero, it was later renamed the Alamo. During the 1810-1821 Mexican Revolution, common interests in securing freedom from Spain had Americans fighting alongside Mexicans in several key battles. At the war's end though, Texas became a Mexican state and 3500 American settlers quickly moved into the area.
After the seven month Texas War for Independence from Mexico (1835-1836), San Antonio boomed as a cattle town. European migrants, including vast numbers of Germans and Czechs, began settling the area. In 1879, Fort Sam Houston was established by the US Army.
The city's subsequent growth was largely due to a military presence: 'Fort Sam' was joined by Kelly Air Force base in 1917, followed by Lackland, Randolph and Brooks Air Force bases. In 1921, floods destroyed downtown San Antonio, drowning as many as 50 people. As a result, the Olmos Dam was constructed to handle overflow.
Today, the city's easygoing atmosphere can't hide the fact that it's a major trade zone and a nationally known college town, with significant reserves of petroleum, livestock and beer. The city is also a major tourist drawcard, with hospitality the number two employer after the medical/biotechnology industry. The military comes in at third place.
