In 1692, Spanish missionaries came across a small [[Payaya Indians|Payaya Indian]] community along what was then known as the [[Yanaguana (San Antonio)|Yanaguana]] River on the feast day of Saint Anthony, 13 June. The Franciscan chaplain, Father Damien Massanet, with agreement from General Domingo de Teran, renamed the rivers in his honor, and eventually built [[Alamo Mission in San Antonio|a mission nearby]], as well. This mission became the focal point of a small community that eventually grew in size and scope to become the seventh-largest city in the country, the [[San Antonio|U.S. city of San Antonio, Texas]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.americancatholic.org/Messenger/Jun2004/Feature2.asp#F1 |title=San Antonio: The City of St. Anthony |website= St. Anthony Messenger Magazine Online |publisher=Americancatholic.org |date= June 2004 |access-date=30 June 2010}}</ref>
