San Antonio, Texas..........Remember the Alamo

Founded by the Spanish in the late 18th century as Mission San Antonio de Valero.

Following the closing of Valero in 1793, the land and buildings were occupied by the former mission converts. In 1803, Valero became a military barracks when the Second Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras took up quarters on the grounds. The military use continued after Mexico declared its independence from Spain in 1821. Valero (which local residents had begun to call the Alamo) played its most famous role as a Texian fort during the Texas Revolution. The heroic stand for liberty taken by the Alamo garrison insured that the site would forever be revered.
