San Antonio, Texas - Facts & Figures
San Antonio has been called the Alamo City, and is known as the Heart of Texas. Located in the Sun Belt, San Antonio maintains a small-town and historic feeling, while managing to contain a population as large as Dallas. Five major military installations are located in San Antonio, including three Air Force bases (Brooks, Lackland, and Randolph) and one Army post (Fort Sam Houston). This accounts for a large amount of government workers and a very strong and stable economic sector. San Antonio also draws a large amount of tourists to their western mission town. Millions of guests visit the River Walk, Spanish-style historic homes, and the Alamo, where Davie Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Travis made their stand to free Texas from Mexico. San Antonio is home to 5 of the top 10 tourist draws in Texas, with the Alamo and the River Walk ranked #1 and #2.
