  1. The Mission San José (1720) The Spanish established a chain of missions along the San Antonio River. These missions became the foundation for the city of San Antonio. Named San Jose, this mission was established by Fray Antonio Margil de Jesus in 1720. A model among the Texas missions, San Jose gained a reputation as a major social and cultural center. Among the San Antonio missions, it also provided the strongest fort against raids from Indians.
