The Grass Fight of November 1835 took place on open prairie and grazing land southwest of San Antonio de Bexar, an area with no town, garrison, or permanent settlement of its own. The land's only practical use before and during the Texas Revolution was as pastureland, part of the ranching landscape long associated with the missions and rancherias surrounding San Antonio, where livestock grazed and forage was cut for use by both civilian and military animals. The skirmish itself arose from that very use: Texian forces intercepted a Mexican pack train they believed was carrying silver for the Bexar garrison's payroll, only to discover the mules were loaded with cut grass intended as fodder for Mexican cavalry horses. Because the site was never built up as a settlement, mission, or fort, it had no ongoing civic or commercial function either before or after the fight, and its significance rests entirely on the brief military engagement that occurred there. Today the site lies within the expanded urban and suburban footprint of San Antonio, and its historical importance is preserved only through a state historical marker placed near the presumed location of the skirmish. The site functions today purely as a commemorative point of interest for those tracing Texas Revolution history in and around San Antonio, with no surviving open land, structures, or public recreational use tied to the battle itself.
