3 things you probably didn’t know about Texas
06.24.2017
Hi everyone! Since our Plano Salon is getting settled in a new environment, we thought we’d share with you what we learned about Texas.
1. The origin of Texas
Did you know that the name “Texas” comes from the Indian language “Tejas” which means “friendship” and “allies”?
Way back in history, Texas was a province of Mexico, but from 1835 to 1836, Texas won its independence. Their victory called for a new flag which featured a white lone star and hence their nickname, “The Lone Star State” — a representation of pride and independence.
Staying true to its origins, the people in Texas are extremely friendly and we all take pride in the amazing state we live in.
2. It’s bigger than you think it is
Texas is the 2nd largest state in the U.S. both by area and population. So, everything is really spacious out here. Many people drive big pickup trucks and roads and parking spaces are nice and wide—Yes!! So much room to breathe.
3. The center of rapid growth
After the Civil War, livestock, especially cattle thrived and became the center of the industry. In the early 20th century Texas experienced an economic boom with the oil industry, which later developed into a diversified economy bringing in high-tech companies as well as other new businesses. Texas is now the 2nd highest in gross state product and continues to experience rapid growth.
So, there’s a glimpse of Texas! Viange Hair is proud to be in the middle of an amazing, innovative state. And don’t forget to visit us at our new salon in Plano, Texas!
