History and Culture
Texas has a long and fascinating history, dating back to the days of the Spanish conquistadors. The state was first claimed for Spain by Alonso Álvarez de Pineda in 1519. In 1685, the Spanish established the first permanent settlement in Texas, at Mission San Antonio de Valero (now the Alamo). Texas remained a part of Spain until 1821, when it became part of Mexico.
Texas declared independence from Mexico in 1836, and became the Republic of Texas. The Republic of Texas lasted for 10 years, until it was annexed by the United States in 1845.
