"Lone Star" state is Texas's nickname. Prior to the Mexican-American war, Texas gained independance from Mexico. Since Mexico had a large expanse of un-inhabited land, they allowed American settlers to live in the area. Stephen Austin (son of Moses Austin) urged the province to gain freedom. It's been called the Lone-Star Republic since.
