San Pedro Springs - Natural Springs on Waymarking.com

These natural springs have been providing water for local inhabitants for thousands of years, well before Spain sent their missionaries to establish Catholic missions across Texas. But, when the expedition led by Father Antonio de San Buenaventura de Olivares, and accompanied by Father Isidro Felix de Espinosa, these springs got a name that lasted in history. On April 13, 1709, Father Espinosa arrived at the springs with the rest of the travelers and wrote:

"... after going through a mesquite flat and some holm-oak groves we came to an irrigation ditch, bordered by many trees and with enough water to supply a town. It was full of taps or sluices of water, the earth being terraced. We named it San Pedro Springs."
