Texas may have the most interesting history of any U.S. state. It's been a part of six different nations; Spain, France, the United States, the Confederate States, Mexico, and the Republic of Texas. That's right! From 1836 to 1845, Texas was its own nation!

Texas became the 28th state admitted to the Union on December 29, 1845. It is the second-largest state in the United States after Alaska. One ranch in Texas, the King Ranch, is bigger than the entire state of Rhode Island.

The state's natural resources include oil, sheep, cotton, and cattle. Texas has more cattle than any other state and is known for the Texas Longhorn cattle native to the state. This breed has horns that can grow as long as 6 to 7 feet long from tip to tip.

The state is also known for its beautiful bluebonnet flowers. These hardy flowers are native to Texas and are usually in bloom from late-April to early-May.

Austin is the capital of Texas, which is known as the Lone Star State. Its state flag is a single blue star over horizontal bars of white and red. The flag's color symbolization is as follows:

Red: courage
White: liberty
Blue: loyalty
