They always say that everything is bigger in Texas! And this amazing infographic offers up some proof that this just might be the case!
Accounting for nearly 8% of America’s landmass and home to some 25 million people, Texas is big! Houston alone is home to over 2 million people and is the fourth largest city in the United States. Not only that, but at any given time Texas is home to over 16 million cattle. That’s a whole lot of steak.
What’s more, 23 Fortune 500 companies call Texas home, as do 8 different sports teams! From city-based professional teams, to university teams, if there’s a sport you like, Texas will have a team you can follow!
And did you know that Texas was once an independent republic? From 1836 to 1845 Texas was a part of neither the USA or Mexico! Texas is often referred to as the Lone Star State and is also famous for ranching and cowboys. The long streak of independence in Texas is easily seen in its people and culture.
And while this great infographic provides a ton of useful information, it only scratches at the surface of what Texas has to offer!
