n 1721 the Spanish built a presidio, or fort, and mission here in the area inhabited by the Adais Indians near present-day Robeline. From 1729 to 1770 the settlement served as the official capital of the Spanish province of Texas. The presidio was named Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza de los Adaes, and the mission—located within a quarter mile—was named San Miguel de Cuellar de los Adaes. The fort, mission, and settlement that evolved came to be called simply Los Adaes. Its history reflects both intercolonial rivalry and cooperation among the Spanish, French, and Native Americans who lived along the border of New Spain and French Louisiana.
