The history of the San Antonio River: How it played a critical role in the city's development

This week on Texas Outdoors, we're going to take a trip back in time just to see how important the river was.

My wife and I came home to Texas to retire. We moved to San Antonio as a new experience. It is difficult to learn the history and natural attractions here. Because I am handicapped knowing where and what (outside tourist traps) I can access is an issue. Reports like this are very helpful. Thank you.

It was settled for San Pedro springs not the river.
