by Southwest® (SXSW®) Texasis
a state geographically located in the South Central United
States. Texas is known as the Lone Star State. Austin is the state capital.
Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population, with an area
of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km²) and a growing population of 23.9 million.
Houston is the state's largest city. The Dallas/Fort Worth area is the largest
metropolitan statistical area. Traveling
from east to west, the landscape of Texas gradually evolves from that of the Deep
South into that of the desert Southwest, going from piney woods to semi-forests
of oak and cross timbers, into rolling plains and prairie, then finally to desert
in the Big Bend. These wide open spaces of the Texas prairie have lent currency
to the phrase that "everything is bigger in Texas". Due to its long
history as a center of the American cattle industry, Texas is associated throughout
much of the world with the image of the cowboy. Historically
and culturally, partly due to settlement patterns and its membership in the Confederacy,
Texas has close ties to the American South. However, having once been both a Spanish
and Mexican possession, it can also be classified as a Southwestern state. While
residents acknowledge these categories, many claim an independent "Texan"
identity superseding regional labels. Spain
was the first European
country to claim Texas, and It was part of Mexico until 1836 when it became the
independent Republic of Texas. In 1845 it joined the United States as the 28th
state. Texas is the only state to enter the United States by treaty instead of
territorial annexation. The state's annexation was part of a chain of events that
led to the Mexican-American War and the U.S. Civil War. The discovery of oil in
the early 1900s led to an economic boom in the state. It has become economically
diversified with a growing base in high technology. (Credit:
