San Antonio City:
San Antonio is the
second-largest city in the state of Texas and the seventh largest
city in the United States. Located in South Texas, the city is a
cultural and geographical gateway into the American Southwest. San
Antonio is the seat of Bexar County with a population of 1,328,984
as of the 2007 U.S. Census estimate. It was the
fourth-fastest-growing large city in the nation from 2000-2006. Its
metropolitan area has approximately two million people and is the
28th-largest metropolitan area in the U.S and third in Texas (behind
Dallas and Houston).
San Antonio was named for the Portuguese St. Anthony, whose feast
day is on June 13, when a Spanish expedition stopped in the area in
1691. The city has a strong military presence—it is home to Fort Sam
Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, and
Brooks City-Base, with Camp Bullis and Camp Stanley right outside
the city. Furthermore, Kelly Air Force Base (now Port San Antonio)
operated out of San Antonio until 2001, when the airfield was
transferred over to Lackland AFB and the remaining portions of the
base became an industrial/business park. The decision to close Kelly
and consolidate its resources came from the 1995 BRAC. San Antonio
is also home to the South Texas Medical Center, the only medical
research and care provider in the South Texas region.
Famous for its River Walk, the Alamo, Tejano culture, and home to
the SeaWorld San Antonio and Six Flags Fiesta Texas theme parks, the
city is visited by 26 million tourists per year according to the San
Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau. San Antonio is also home to
the first museum of modern art in Texas—the McNay Art Museum, as
well as one of the more successful National Basketball Association
teams in league history, the San Antonio Spurs. |
