The City of San Antonio (pronounced /ˌsænænˈtoʊni.oʊ/) is the second-largest city in the American state of Texas and the seventh-largest city in the United States with a population of 1.4 million. The city is the seat of Bexar County. Located in the American Southwest and the northern part of South Texas, San Antonio is the center of Tejano culture and Texas tourism. The city is characteristic of other Southwest urban centers in which there are sparsely populated areas and a low density rate outside of the city. It was the fourth-fastest growing large city in the nation from 2000 to 2006 and the fifth-fastest-growing from 2007 to 2008. The San Antonio–New Braunfels metropolitan area has a population of nearly 2.1 million based on the 2009 U.S. Census estimate, making it the 28th-largest metropolitan area in the U.S and third in Texas.

The city was named for the Portuguese St. Anthony, whose feast day is on June 13, when a Spanish expedition stopped in the area in 1691. Famous for Spanish missions, the Alamo, the River Walk, the Tower of the Americas, the Alamo Bowl, and host to Seaworld and Six Flags Fiesta Texas theme parks, the city is visited by approximately 26 million tourists per year according to the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau. The city is home to the four-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs and the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the largest in the country.

San Antonio 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 outside the city. Kelly Air Force Base operated out of San Antonio until 2001, when the airfield was transferred over to Lackland AFB and the remaining portions of the base became Port San Antonio, an industrial/business park. San Antonio is home to five Fortune 500 companies and to the South Texas Medical Center, the only medical research and care provider in the South Texas region.

How long does the San Antonio River Walk Lights Stay on in December?
Q. I know the lights go on the day after Thanksgiving. We are planning of going to San Antonio for a night (hopefully staying in the Hyatt right across the street from the Alamo) and are planning on going Dec. 30-31st. So I am just making sure that the lights will still be on display then. Anyone with this answer that can help? Thanks!

What part of San Antonio, TX, is considered to be the most upscale?
Q. I am from San Diego, thinking about moving to San Antonio. Just wondering what the part would be considered the best?
Asked by Erica R - Tue Sep 4 16:50:38 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The most upscale neighborhoods are King William District - downtown (bad school district though, kids mostly go to private schools) Alamo Heights Just north of downtown (older area but nice small city surrounded by SATX) Olmos Park Area, lots of older large houses well kept up, near Alamo Heights. MonteVista - a mix of older redone houses near downtown, is a historic district. The other neighborhoods considered upscale are pretty much in the North Central to Northwest Areas. There are too many to name, but a few nice ones are Stone Oak/Sonterra Area (I live in one of the neighborhoods in this area and it is a nice area with good schools). Shavano Park, Some areas near La Canterra. There are some nice areas outside the city limits… [cont.]
