San Antonio is currently the seventh-largest city in the United States, but not many know the remarkable history behind this modern-day metropolis. In 1691, a group of Spanish explores happened upon a river and a Native American settlement in what is now the state of Texas. They name both “San Antonio” because it was June 13, the feast day of Saint Anthony. Soon, the river became home to a fort, a Catholic mission, and a community, all of which they called San Antonio de los Llanos.
For the next 100 years, San Antonio was mostly under Spanish control. In the early 1800s, the Spanish turned the old mission into a fort called the Alamo. Texans took control of the fort in 1835. Shortly after, General Santa Anna arrived with an army 2,000 strong. Fewer than 200 soldiers and volunteers gathered in the Alamo, but they held off the Mexican army for 13 days. On March 2, 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico and on December 28, 1845, became a U.S. state.
