Established in the 18th century, La Villita, meaning "little village", is one of San Antonio's earliest neighborhoods. Initially, it served as a settlement for Spanish soldiers from the nearby Mission San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo). Following a significant flood in 1819, the area was reconstructed with more durable adobe structures. In the late 19th century, European immigrants, including Germans, French, and Italians, settled in La Villita, contributing to its diverse architectural styles and cultural heritage.
