Texas originally was inhabited and ruled by Spain, thus why still today there is a large Spanish influence on the state. Texas has actually been shaped by the influence of six different independent countries who at one time flew their flag in Texas: Spain, Mexico, Republic of Texas, the Confederacy and the United States.
In the 1800's American and European immigrants started making their way to Texas, this added more culture to already rich gene pool. Texas joined the union in 1845.
