Texas

It's true. We Texans love our land. And we have a lot of it. So it's nothing for the Lone Star State to pepper the landscape with pockets of lush oasis-like playgrounds, otherwise known as golf courses. With more than 900 courses in our grand state, you won't be shy any rounds if you come to play the links. Our cities are world known for true entrepreneur spirits. In 1841, John Neely Bryan laid claim to this area and built a single log cabin. He envisioned a commerce center that capitalized on the expanse of land and its river. With the arrival of the railroad in the mid-1870s, Dallas became a thriving business town and market center. An influx of French, German, Swiss and English immigrants, highly skilled and cultured, gave Dallas a cosmopolitan air unmatched anywhere on the frontier at the time. Dallas continued to emerge as a major economic force due to a strong entrepreneurial, can-do spirit and is now a cultural center as well.
