Popular with tourists, San Antonio is a vibrant city in the American Southwest.  An early Spanish settlement, San Antonio was decimated during the Mexican-American War but prospered as a cattle center after the US Civil War.  With the arrival of the railroad, San Antonio lost its reputation as a frontier town and grew to become a culturally rich city.  Today, the city of San Antonio is home to professional sports teams, 5 Fortune 500 companies, and over 100,000 students among its higher-education institutions.
