The nationâs second largest state, Texas covers 258,000 square miles in the American Southwest. Visitors to the Lone Star State find its allure is as wide as its borders; the state overflows with a rich, conflicted history, paired with world-famous annual events and sites that evoke pure Texas hip. A must-see is the Alamo, site of one of the most notorious battles in North American history. Located in San Antonio, the Alamo is revered as a tribute to Texans who, in 1836, held off a much larger force of Mexican troops.
