The origin of the name

Before the arrival of Europeans, Indians of different tribes lived in the vast Texas region, among which Caldo in the eastern region was the most advanced. The word "Texas" means "friend" or "compatriot" in the local Indian language.

15 19, Spanish explorer Binda led a fleet from Jamaica, originally intended to go to China, but ended up in Mexico, strayed into the Rio Grande and came to the coast of Texas. Since then, other Spanish expeditions have come here, hoping to find gold.

They met Caldos in the local area. The locals regard them as friends and call them "Taisha people". The word was spelled "Tejas" in Spanish and later became "Texas" in English, which is the origin of the name of Texas.

But the Indian friendship was exchanged for the guns and smallpox of the colonists, and the local population was greatly reduced due to war and disease, and it was on the verge of destruction. In the end, the Spanish conquered Texas like Mexico.
