of the Mission
Nuestra Senora de la Purisma Conception Established
by Franciscan missionaries in 1716 with the hope of civilizing and christianizing
the Indians of the region. Abandoned temporarily due to the French incursions
from Louisiana in 1719. Restored by the Marquis of Aguayo in 1721. Removed to
the Colorado River in 1730 and finally situated on the San Antonio River in 1731.
