TEXAS FUN FACTS
MARCH 2, 2022
 
Texas was once its own country.

From 1836 to 1845, Texas ruled itself as an independent country.

“GONE TO TEXAS” has been used since the 19th century.

In the 1800s, GONE TO TEXAS, or even a shortened version of G.T.T. was adopted by people leaving a brief note for their loved ones before skipping town to head to Texas–often, though not always, because they were on the run from the law.

Vietnamese is the third most spoken language in Texas.

English and Spanish, of course, are the two most spoken by a landslide.

… and there’s a dialect of German in the Lone Star State that is specific to Texas.

Texas has an enormous amount of German heritage dating to the 19th century, including plenty of German town names that dot the map (Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, for example).

One of the results of this heritage is Texas German, a specific dialect of German spoken by the descendants of German immigrants who settled in Texas.
