about San Antonio

San Antonio is a city in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2000 census, the city had a resident population of 1,144,646. It is the county seat of Bexar County.

Originally founded by Canary Islanders in 1731 (although a small Indian community had already been established in the San Pedro Springs area called Yanaguana), San Antonio de Béxar was an early Spanish settlement in the Americas. The Battle of the Alamo took place nearby in 1836, and eventually the town would grow to encompass the embattled mission. Today, the Alamo is in the heart of downtown San Antonio.

Famous for its Riverwalk and the Alamo, and being home to SeaWorld and Six Flags theme parks, San Antonio is visited by 20 million tourists per year.

The city is home to Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, and Brooks City Base.

San Antonio is home to the state's first art museum (Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum).

SBC Communications and Clear Channel Communications are headquartered in San Antonio.
