Texas
The State: Texas, the ‘Lone Star State’, is the second-largest
state in the USA, covering more than 695,676 sq km (268,600 sq miles). Spain
was the first European power to lay claim to Texas; the State also flew the
flags of France and Mexico before gaining its independence in 1836. Texas
borders Mexico along the Rio Grande and embraces vast mountain ranges and
canyons to the west; lakes, plantations and pine forests to the east; broad
plains to the north; citrus groves, Gulf of Mexico beaches and low-lying alluvial
plains to the south; and rolling hill country and clear natural springs at
its heart. Its great wealth stems from its vast oil reserves. It has several
booming cities: Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and its
capital city, Austin.
