History of the Texas Flag
The Texas State Flag features a blue background on the left third of the flag. Inside of the blue field is a large white five-pointed star which is featured prominently in the center. The right two thirds of the flag are split horizontally into two bands, with the top being white and the bottom being red. The colors chosen for the Texas flag are the same colors used on the United States of America flag, which signifies the state's loyalty and allegiance to the country. In addition to that, the color blue represents loyalty, the color white represents purity, and the color red represents bravery. The single star on the flag represents Texas and the unity between God, State, and Country. The five points of the star represent the five characteristics that a good citizen should have which are, fortitude, loyalty, righteousness, prudence and broadmindedness. The Texas state flag is also known as the "Lone Star Flag" and was adopted on January 25th, 1839. Prior to serving as the Texas State Flag, this design served as the official flag of the Republic of Texas from 1836 until 1839. Prior to joining the United States, the Republic of Texas was an independent nation. During the time of its independence, the single star was symbolic of independence. The symbolic meaning of the design and colors were adapted once Texas joined the United States.
Texas is the second largest state in the United States and is located in the South-Central region of the country. It shares borders with New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, the Gulf of Mexico, and Mexico. The capital city is Austin and the largest city is Houston. The second largest city is San Antonio. The name, "Texas" is derived from the Caddo-Indian word, "Taysha," which translates as "friends." Texas is the only state that was an independent republic before it joined the United States of America. Texas is often referred to as "The Lone Star State," in reference to its flag. The area where Texas is located has been inhabited for approximately 16,700 years. Before the Europeans arrived in the area, it was occupied by Native American Tribes, including the Akokisa, Karankawa, Mogollan, and Caddo. In 1528, shipwrecked Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca became the first European to arrive to the area. Cabeza de Vaca mistakenly wrote about gold in the area, which inspired more Spanish to explore the area. Europeans did not begin to settle in Texas until 1685, when the French claimed the land following Robert de La Salle establishing Fort St. Louis. The French did not have control for very long as the Spanish settled Texas by establishing Catholic missions. The first Catholic mission that was established was in 1718 in San Antonio and became known as "The Alamo." In 1803, following the Louisiana Purchase, the American authorities insisted that the agreement had to include Texas and it came under the control of the United States of America. In 1821, after the Mexican War of Independence, the Texas territory became a part of Mexico and it was referred to as "Coahuila y Tejas." In 1825, with Mexico's approval, American Samuel Austin established a colony to which he brought approximately 300 families and Americans. Eventually, the Americans began rebelling against the Mexican authorities, resulting in the Texas Revolution in 1835. At the battle of Alamo in 1836, the Americans suffered a heavy defeat, which only encouraged them to rebel more, and on March 2nd, 1836, the Republic of Texas was formed. Despite being independent, Texas was still vulnerable to attack until General Sam Houston convinced the leaders to join the United States of America for protection and on December 29th , 1845, Texas officially became the 28th state.Area
