This state historic marker on the US 380 as you come into San Antonio from the west preserves this history of this ton on the El Camino Real.
The marker reads as follows:
"SAN ANTONIO ON THE CAMINO REAL
Established in the mid-1600s, the Mission of San Antonio de Senecu was the last outpost on the Camino Real until the Mesilla Valley to the south. Around 1820 Hispano settlers re-occupied the area after the Pueblo Revolt. Conrad Hilton got his start here, carrying luggage from here to his father's hotel located in his family's adobe house."
