Lone Star State
Reply:THE NICKNAMES:


The Lone Star State: Perhaps one of the most recognized nicknames of any state, "The Lone Star State" comes from the symbolism of the star on the 1836 flag of the republic, the "National Standard of Texas." The single golden star on a blue background signified Texas as an independent republic and was a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texas State Flag and on the Texas State Seal today.





The Beef State: Perhaps more likely to be heard in connection with Nebraska, "The Beef State" is also one of the nicknames for Texas. This is attributed to the state's cattle ranching and beef production.





The Banner State: This nickname signifies a leading position, a front-runner, and probably originated from Texas' political influence based on her large population. Charles Ledyard Norton wrote, in Political Americanisms, "The state, county, town or other political sub-division that give the largest vote for a party candidate is termed 'the banner state.'..." Other states have been referred to as "Banner States," but this nickname's connection with Texas seems to have been more lasting.





The Blizzard State: Texas has been called "The Blizzard State" because of the frequent wind storms which sweep over the state. South Dakota is also referred to as "The Blizzard State."





The Jumbo State: In 1882, P.T. Barnum brought the largest African elephant ever kept in captivity from London to the United States to be used in his circus. The elephant's name was Jumbo. The elephant came to signify anything that was unusually large. Texas, the largest state in the Union, became known as "The Jumbo State" at that time.
