Mission Homes for Sale

For thousands of years, approximately 200 individual Native American tribes that comprised the Coahuiltecans inhabited the banks of the Rio Grande starting from the Pecos River to the Gulf of Mexico. The land of modern-day Mission is where these tribes hunted and gathered for more than a thousand years, using only the natural resources needed for food, clothing, and shelter. Archaeological evidence shows these tribes never fully established agricultural practices or possessed grazing livestock. In the early part of the 18th century, Spain began to colonize the area and built numerous missions near here and throughout other parts of South Texas. The Spanish controlled a vast area that stretched from the Panuco River in Tampico, Mexico, to Corpus Christi, Texas. In 1762, King Carlos III of Spain instructed those in charge of Spain’s operations in Texas to divide the territory up into one-kilometer portions along the banks of the Rio Grande. These land portions also extended approximately 16 miles inland. Parts 55 through 57 is where Rancho La Lomita was established. Rancho La Lomita became the site of the historic La Lomita Chapel. After Texas became the 28th state of the United States, Rancho La Lomita was granted to a Captain Conway and J.W. Hoit who would later establish the town of Mission.
