Bexar County, County seat in south-central Texas, United States
Bexar County encompasses 3,255 square kilometers in south-central Texas, containing San Antonio and multiple suburban communities within its boundaries.
Spanish settlers established the first civil municipality in Texas here in 1731, when 55 Canary Islanders founded Villa de San Fernando de Béxar.
The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park within Bexar County preserves four Spanish colonial missions that represent early Texas settlement patterns.
BiblioTech, the digital library system of Bexar County, provides residents with free access to electronic books and educational resources through multiple locations.
The county name derives from a Spanish noble who died defending Budapest from Ottoman forces, creating an unexpected connection between Texas and European history.
