Located on the eastern banks of the San Antonio River for over 200 years, La Villita is an early settlement that grew to be the 8th largest city in America. Spanish for 'little town", La Villita is the original town of Old San Antonio. Architectural styles represented in the historic district range from simple adobe structures to early Victorian and natural cut limestone buildings.
Today, La Villita is a beautifully landscaped area that has shops, restaurants and a post office. The Old San Antonio Exhibit, a collection of historically significant artifacts and art objects is on display in Bolivar Hall. The "Cos House" in La Villita was the location of the signing of surrender of the Mexican troops.
