Texas is the second largest state in both size and population which means EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas, right? Well, not quite. It's population, while definitely big, is squished into an pretty small area in the far east. Meanwhile, over in West Texas, there's mostly just empty land and big open sky. So why do so few Texans live in the west?
In this video, we'll cover the history of how Texas became a state in the first place (and lost a bunch of land in the process), the state's surprisingly diverse physical geography, and why Texans have largely stayed in the east.
