San Antonio was named for the Portuguese St. Anthony when a Spanish expedition stopped in the area in 1691. The city has a strong military presence-it is home to Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, and Brooks City-Base, with Camp Bullis and Camp Stanley right outside the city. Famous for its River Walk, the Alamo, and Tejano culture, it is also home to the first museum of modern art in Texas, as well as one of the more successful National Basketball Association teams in league history, the San Antonio Spurs.
