OIL  Oil was discovered in 1894 in the small farming community of Corsicana, located south of Dallas, as workers drilled for a town well. Instead of water, the struck oil and the Texas oil boom began. Today, Texas leads the nation in refining crude oil.

Historia  Did you know that over the course of history, Texas has been ruled by six different governments: France, Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States, and the United States of America?  In 1821, when Mexico won independence from Spain, Texas became part of Mexico. The Mexican government allowed U.S. settlers onto the land. In 1836, these settlers outnumbered Mexicans six to one. They declared their independence, which they won that same year, creating an independent nation: the Republic of Texas. In 1845, Texas became the 28 th state of the United States, but in 1861, it seceded from the Union to join the Confederacy in the Civil War. Texas was readmitted into the Union in 1870.
