Known today as The Alamo, this Spanish mission complex was the first of the San Antonio missions founded to convert the local American Indians to Christianity. The mission eventually became a community of Spanish, Mexican, and American Indian Catholics.
In 1803, the first soldiers to arrive at the old mission were a Spanish cavalry unit called La Segunda Compañía Volante de San Carlos de Parras or the Second Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras. They were also known as the Alamo Company because of their hometown of Alamo de Parras.
The Alamo Company ( La Segunda Compañía Volante de San Carlos de Parras) took up quarters in the former mission compound and the plaza became their parade ground. This period was marked by republican threats to Spanish royal authority as exampled by the Las Casas Revolt (1811), the Gutiérrez-Magee Expedition (1812), and the Battle of Medina (1813).
