Texas known as the "Lone Star State" is the second largest and second most populous state in the South in United States of America.   

Geographically located in the South Central region of the country.   

Texas shares borders with the U.S. states of Louisiana to the east.   

Arkansas to the northeast, Oklahoma to the north and New Mexico to the west,.   

The Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the southwest.   

Texas has a coastline with the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast.   

Owing to its remarkable size, distinctive culture and politics, and colorful history, many Texans maintain a fiercely independent attitude, with Texan identity often superseding American identity.   

Few other American states feature their flag so prominently in businesses, on the backs of cars and in advertisements.   

It also is very tax-friendly with the lowest taxes in the USA.   

Originally a territory of Spain and, later, Mexico, Texas rebelled in 1836 and became its own nation for 10 years before being annexed by the United States in 1845.   

Despite having existed under the auspices of six different nations (France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America), Texas has maintained its fascinating independent spirit, making for a unique and unrivaled exploration ground for any intrigued and intrepid adventurer.

Texas History & Facts 

The European settlement of New York was led by the Dutch, settling along the Hudson River in 1624. 

They established the colony of New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan. 

When the British took control of the area in 1664, they renamed it New York, and it became one of the original 13 colonies. 

New York achieved statehood in 1788, with the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, and New York City served as the new nation’s first capital. 

George Washington was sworn in as president there, at Federal Hall on Wall Street, in 1789.

From the late 1800s to the mid-20th century, millions of immigrants arrived at New York Harbor, where Ellis Island became their gateway to U.S. citizenship. 

The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France, was erected on what became Liberty Island in 1886. 

It's estimated that as many as four in 10 Americans can trace at least one ancestor to this migration, 14 million arriving there through 1924.

With 47,000 square miles statewide, New York state offers vast regions of wilderness. 

Most notable are the Adirondack Mountains, home to hiking at the state's highest peaks and a family-oriented ski resort at Gore Mountain. 

The Adirondack Park encompasses 6 million acres, with 30,000 rivers and streams, 3,000 lakes and ponds. Mount Marcy, at 5,343 feet, is the state’s tallest. The 1980 Winter Olympics were staged at Lake Placid, where the ski jump areas and ice skating rink continue to draw tourists.

In addition to tourism, New York state’s economy is led by financial services, health care, professional services, retail trade, manufacturing and education.

The more enduring industry for which New York City is best known – the financial world of Wall Street – dates to the era of the American Revolution. 

The New York Stock Exchange, with a market capitalization of more than $20 trillion, is the world's largest stock exchange. 

It was founded in 1792 when 24 stockbrokers signed an agreement beneath a Buttonwood tree on Wall Street at the south end of Manhattan, near the Battery.
