About Site of Camino Real
The Camino Real, known as the Old San Antonio Road, followed Indigenous paths that by 1691 formed the Trail of the Padres, running a thousand miles from Saltillo, Mexico, to Louisiana. It served as early Texas's main thoroughfare and was surveyed around 1800 as the King's Highway. It also bounded the colonies of Stephen F. Austin and Sterling C. Robertson.
