Texas

The father of the Norwegian immigration to Texas Johan Reinert Reierson founded the first two Norwegian settlements in Texas - Normandy in 1845 and Prairieville in 1847, both SE of Dallas. The third settlement which was the largest and most prosperous settlement was founded in Bosque County, NW of Waco in 1854 and was named Norse. The founder of Norse was Ole Canuteson.Johan Nordboe from Ringebu in Gudbrandsdalen was the first Norwegian who settled in Texas. He came and took land in Dallas in 1838. But he established no settlement.Johan Reinert Reierson from Holt Parish near Tvedestrand in Norway was presented to Texas governor Sam Houston in 1844 who took a deep interest in getting Norwegian immigrants to Texas.The first Norwegian settlement in Texas was established in the vicinity of Brownsboro in Henderson County in 1845 by Johan Reinert Reierson.

The Norwegian Lutheran Cemetery in Brownsboro is situated just outside the town and has 24 marked and 81 unmarked graves.The Norwegians named the settlement Normandy which was later integrated into the town of Brownsboro.In 1848 Reierson moved to Four Mile Prairie in Kaufman and Van Zandt Counties. There they built their homes and farms and founded the town of Prairieville. The colony fell on difficult days in the 1850s when an epidemic swept through the settlements and many of the settlers moved to Bosque County. Prairieville survived and reached a population of about 200 in 1900. Over the years the community had a variety of stores and services. In 1990 Prairieville had about 50 residents.Elise Wærenskjold - the Lady with the Pen - was born in Norway but lived most of her life in Prairieville/Four Mile Prairie. She wrote all her life and her letters presents a portrait of the immigrant colonies in Texas. They mirror people and everyday events as well as her own reflections. The most sucessful Norwegian settlement in Texas was the Norse settlement in Bosque County, NW of Waco. Among the pioneers in Norse were Cleng Peerson, Ole and Canute Canuteson (Knud Knudsen) from the Stavanger region, Jens Ringness and Ole Ween from Hedmark and Jens Jensen and Ole Pierson from Arendal. The settlement grew into a strong and vital force which today stands out as one of the models of rural development in Texas.

P.s. I hope this helped you a little bit and if not too bad!! LOL

There were 41 defenders,. Several were from Europe.

The distance between the above mentioned places is 7920 miles approximately. The distance is straight path from one place to another place. There might be slight difference between the actual distance and the above mentioned distance because of the route chosen.

Yes, Texas was once a country of its own. It was originally a part of Mexico. Then there was a revolution, and it became the Republic of Texas. After about ten years, they joined the United States.

To start off, all people from Texas do not walk around in cowboy boots, cowboy hats, Wrangler jeans, and huge belt buckles 24/7. (However, most Texans do own at least one of these.) This attire is usually reserved for people who actually own or work on ranches. Second, its hard to say how "people from Texas" dress as this includes a very wide spectrum in which everyone is different. Also, it depends on what event (a nice dinner, work, going downtown...) the person is attending. So, to answer your question, let me say this: Middle to higher class women who live in big cities (Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio...) usually interpret "daytime wear" as nice jeans and some kind of loose, colorful top. Color is a big deal in Texas, and in my opinion Texan women wear more makeup than in other places. People wear lots of jewelery. As for men, its hard to say. Jeans during the day, slacks at night. Like I said, it depends on the event. Hope that helps. I'm not an expert. Also to clear some things up: Not everyone in Texas has a southern accent. No one rides horses to school. All the women do not have huge, hairsprayed hairstyles. And the majority of people actually DON'T own guns. haha

Yes, Texas is the second largest US state by area. South Carolina ranks 40th in size.

The North Central Plains (often called the MidWest) are the heartland of America. The region lies between the Ohio River and the Great Lakes and stretches to beyond the 95th meridian. Included are eight states: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. The states that border (not boarder) it are: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kkentucky, Arkansas, the corners of Tennessee and Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota.

By population, the US is the 3rd largest nation in the world with a population of 298,444,215. Right behind China and India. By area, the US is the 3rd largest nation in the world with 3,537,437 square miles (9,161,923 square km). Right behind Russia and China. World Almanac & Book of Facts 2007
The United States is 9,826,675 km2 (3,794,101 square miles) and has an estimated population of 313,500,000 to date. It is the third largest country both in terms of area and population. It is slightly smaller than Canada and slightly larger than China.

The standard two letter abbreviation for the state of Texas is TX.

It is a convoluted systems with two different approaches both Civil and Criminal. Perhaps that is why corporations like ENRON loved the system. It might be the best state for an attorney to practice in if they are worth their salt.

Based on total area, the largest U.S. states are #1 Alaska, #2 Texas, #3 California, #4 Montana, and #5 New Mexico. Based on population, the largest U.S. states are #1 California, #2 Texas, #3 Florida, #4 New York, and #5 Illinois.

According to the United States Postal Service, 3 days or less.

This is because Texas, was once a Spanish and later a Mexican colony. The story goes, as independance from an independant country. First, Mexico declared independance from Spain and got it. But the Mexicans from what is now Texas, didn't like the new Mexican government. Because the Mexican government was simply comprised of original Spanish rulers. So Texas, declared independance and then became part of the United States. So, much Spanish and Mexican and even a combination of both is emerged into Tex-Mex culture. Alot of people of Texas, speak Spanish as a native language. Also, Mexico and Texas are right on the U.S/Mexico border. So immigrants from in and out of both places influence each other.

duuuhhh - hello - Texas is the biggest state in the lower 48. it depends on the highways you take and the direction of travel and which big cities you might have to drive through and at what time of day - you people really do need to get out more and learn a little about the country you live in.

South, you will have travelled south.

More accurately, there are two major routes. The quickest is I-40 to Albuquerque, NM (which is a west southwest direction) to I-25 south to El Paso. Or, you can take the scenic route of I-27 south to Stanton, TX then I-20 west southwest to El Paso. Both of which should be noted travel in a generally southerly direction from Amarillo in the Panhandle to El Paso in west Texas.

Texas * Summary: Folders under 5.5" OK. * Max length: 5.5" * Specifically illegal: Switchblade, throwing knives, daggers (in general), bowie knives, swords and spears. * Relevant laws: Penal Code 46 * Quirks: The one state people associate with Bowie knives explicitly forbids them. Nothing about an age limit. Just do not bring them into government/publicly owned places. (Courthouses, Schools, Schoolbuses... etc.)

Texas never moved, I believe the Question is "To which Nation was Texas a part before it became part of the U.S." that answer would be Mexico

Carbon in its many forms including oil and natural gas.

About the same distance it takes a belt to travel around your mom..
