📖 History
In southern Texas, along a 7.7-mile stretch of the San Antonio River, reside the San Antonio Missions — five outposts rich in culture and history. These complexes were constructed during the early 1700s as part of the Spanish government's efforts to settle and control the area, convert the local natives to Catholicism, and defend the northern border of their territory. In addition to proselytizing the locals, another purpose of establishing the missions was to create self-sufficient communities loyal to the Spanish government, with everything they needed to sustain themselves.
1978 was a significant year in preserving the national historic sites of San Antonio. That year, the United States Congress founded the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park to protect and recognize the national significance of the four Spanish Colonial-era missions in San Antonio, namely Mission Espada, Mission Concepcion, Mission San Juan, and Mission San José. The park's sweeping 475-acre boundaries also preserved agricultural lands, irrigation systems, and other sites of historical or cultural significance related to the missions. The Alamo, or Mission San Antonio de Valero, is owned by the State of Texas and managed by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas — reasons for the mission's exclusion from the park.
