In 1740, the Lipan Apache Band village site was spotted some 50 miles Northwest of todays San Antonio, Texas at Tancahe Camp on the Rio Colorado de Texas. In 1757, the Colonial Spanish Government built the Mission San Saba de la Santa Cruz for the Lipan Apache Band of Texas. Mission San Saba de la Santa Cruz is found ninety miles Northeast of San Antonio, Texas and is found on the banks of the San Saba River.
The Mission also raised cattle, sheep, horses, and pigs. Mission Santa Ines was considered one of the richest missions. Neophytes were trained in skilled arts and they were able to make and trade leather and metal items made at the Mission. Mission Santa Ines was the site of an Indian Rebellion in February 1824. Local Chumash tribe members were upset over their treatment and attacked the Mission.
