Texas State Nickname - The Lone Star State

The nickname The Lone Star State originates from the star on the 1836 flag of the Republic of Texas. The world-famous "Lone Star" is also found on the Texas state flag, the great seal, the state quarter, and is recognized as the official state gemstone cut of Texas.
