King William Historic District spans 25 blocks along the southern banks of the San Antonio River in the city's downtown district, showcasing beautiful preserved 19th-century homes and businesses. The district's history dates back as far as the end of the 18th century and is located on land that originally belonged to the city's Alamo Spanish mission. Throughout the 19th century, it served as the city's primary German district, with many Greek Revival, Italianate, and Victorian-style homes constructed throughout the neighborhood. Today, many of the district's homes have been converted into museums, art galleries, boutiques, and cafes, preserved within a designated historic district. The neighborhood is home to a monthly art walk event and an annual King William Fair, which features a parade, art vendors, and live musical performances.
