Beginnings of Texas The Mission Era and La Salle’s Mirage
In the second quarter of the eighteenth century at Mission San Jose Aguayo on the San Antonio River the Franciscans began the lasting Texas settlement project. La Salle’s doomed expedition near Matagorda Bay and the later Spanish missions at San Antonio shaped the region, with priests guiding irrigation and agriculture while Mexico and France vied for hegemony. The era culminated in the San Fernando Cathedral’s rise and the Alamo mission as enduring symbols.
