*Texas is known as the lonestar state because back in 1836, Texas became a sovereign nation officially recognized by the United States and several European countries. This means Texas was its own nation for a few months before becoming part of the United States. The term "Lonestar" comes from the symbolic single star on the Texas flag, which was officially adopted by the Republic of Texas in 1839 ---and still flys today.

 

*The word "Texas" comes from a Caddo Indian word meaning "friends or "allies" The Spanish explorers pronounced the word "Tejas" and affectionatly gave this name to the area.
