The Five Spanish Missions of Old San Antonio A chain of five missions established along the San Antonio River in the 18th century became the largest concentration of Catholic missions in North America.ission San Francisco de la Espada, like its sister missions San Jose, San Juan, and Concepcion, had its beginnings in East Texas. Originally named San Francisco de los Tejas, Espada was renamed and relocated to San Antonio in 1731. It is the southernmost of the chain of missions located on the San Antonio River.
Spanish Texas was a part of New Spain. On its southern edge, Texas was bordered by the province of Coahuila. The boundary between the provinces was set at the line formed by the Medina and the Nueces Rivers, 100 miles (161 km) northeast of the Rio Grande. On the east, Texas bordered French Louisiana.ince 1493, Spain had maintained a number of missions throughout New Spain (Mexico and portions of what today are the southwestern United States) in order to facilitate colonization of these lands.
