In 1767, the Spanish government gave two land grants to Narciso Cavazos and José Maria Balli. Cavazos and Balli, along with their heirs, lived on these land grants well into the 1850s. These families worked their land as subsistence farmers and sheep and cattle ranchers. In 1909, the town of San Juan was established by a John Closner. The historical records show that the town was named after him, though using the Spanish derivative rather than the English form. On December 29, 1917, San Juan was officially incorporated as a town.
