Nicknamed the "Lone Star State," Texas is the second-largest state in the Union. Settled by the Spanish in the late 1600s, Texas won its independence in 1836. In 1845, Texas became the 28th state to join the Union.

European Exploration
About 30,000 Indians lived in Texas when the first Europeans arrived in the area. There were many tribes, including the Caddo – the largest group, known for farming and living in permanent homes; the Arkokisa, Attacapa, Karankawa, and other smaller tribes lived along the coast; the Coahuiltecans lived in southern Texas; the warlike Lipan Apaches lived on the Edwards Plateau in the west; and Commanche and Tonkawa Indians roamed the plains.
