Arroyo de Juan Lorenzo

Name used by Spaniards of Presidio de San Saba (in existence from 1757 to 1770) for this stream now called Celery Creek.

Stone to build Presidio was quarried from bluffs along the creek, and deep banks let hostile Indians approach undiscovered, to attack the Presidio, half a mile to the southwest.

Marker is on U.S. 190 0.8 miles west of Frisco Avenue (Route 83).
