The Alamo was originally called Mision San Antonio de Valero. Long before the events that catapulted The Alamo into the history books, the site served as a Mission (from 1724 through 1793 when Spanish Officials distributed the lands to Native residents. The name “Alamo” came from the Spanish soldiers quartered there during the 1800s after their hometown of Alamo de Parras, Coahuila.

The Alamo is maintained by The Daughters of The Republic of Texas. This group supports the maintenance of The Alamo through private contributions as well as through sales in the gift shop located within the Sales Museum.
