Presidio of San Sabá

Colonel Parrilla was relieved of command as a consequence of this setback and replaced by Captain Felipe de Rábago y Terán.

Captain Rábago immediately undertook replacing the temporary wooden stockade with a permanent stone structure.

Conditions deteriorated to the point that Captain Rábago abandoned the post without authorization in June 1768, evacuating the garrison, women, and children to the relative safety of Mission San Lorenzo de la Santa Cruz.

Captain Oca reoccupied the presidio in early 1770, but, like his predecessor, he abandoned it for good later that same year.

Settlers arriving in the 19th century used the stones from the presidio's walls to build house, out-buildings and corrals.
