Did you know the Current Texas flag was designed in Montgomery, TX?  Six Flags isn’t just the name of a famous theme park. Its origin comes from the slogan “Six Flags over Texas,” which describes Texas‘s history in just a few words. Though several of the states in the Union were at some point part of a larger power (England, France, Spain) or went a few years as an independent republic, Texas has the unique history of having belonged to six different sovereign countries, a combination of its complicated history and a particularity the Lone Star State takes pride in.
