The Spanish Empire rose in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries due to its successful exploration and colonization of the Americas, which brought vast wealth through resources like gold and silver. Additionally, Spain's strategic marriages and military conquests expanded its influence in Europe. However, by the seventeenth century, the empire began to decline due to overextension, costly wars, economic mismanagement, and competition from other emerging powers, leading to a loss of territories and diminishing power.

The fortresses were built to protect against pirates, hostile native Americans and enemy colonists. Other presidios were held by Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in Italy, on Elba and in North Africa. Later, with independence, the Mexicans garrisoned the Spanish presidios on the northern frontier and followed the same pattern in unsettled frontier regions like the Presidio de Sonoma, at Sonoma, California and the Presidio de Calabasas, in Arizona. A short distance outside a presidio, would be a rancho del rey, or king's farm, a tract of land assigned to it to furnish pasturage to the horses and other beasts of burden of the garrison
