This included the disputed areas of eastern New Mexico northward to Wyoming. After statehood, 128 counties were carved out of its area.
The county was named for San Antonio de B&eacute;xar, one of the 23 Mexican municipalities (administrative divisions) of Texas at the time of its independence. San Antonio de B&eacute;xar&mdash;originally&nbsp;Villa de San Fernando de B&eacute;xar&mdash;was the first civil government established by the Spanish in the&nbsp;province of Texas. Specifically, the municipality was created in 1731 when 55&nbsp;Canary Islanders&nbsp;settled near the system of&nbsp;missions&nbsp;that had been established around the source of the&nbsp;San Antonio River. The new settlement was named after the&nbsp;Presidio&nbsp;San Antonio de B&eacute;jar, the Spanish military outpost that protected the missions. The presidio, located at the&nbsp;San Pedro Springs, was founded in 1718 and named for&nbsp;Viceroy Balthasar Manuel de Z&uacute;&ntilde;iga y Guzm&aacute;n Sotomayor y Sarmiento, second son of the Duke of&nbsp;B&eacute;jar&nbsp;(a town in Spain). The modern city of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas also derived its name from San Antonio de B&eacute;jar.
