Texas was claimed and controlled by six different nations, ergo the phrase "Six Flags of Texas". The Six Flags amusement park corporation takes its etymology from this phrase.
The following lists the countries had sovereignty Texas in order from first to last:
- Spain (1519 - 1685; 1690 - 1821*)
- France (1685 - 1690)
- Mexico (1821 - 1836)
- Republic of Texas (1836 - 1846**)
- United States of America (1846 - 1861; 1865 - present***)
- Confederate States of America (1861 - 1865)
*During this 5-year break in sovereignty, France claimed Texas.
**Texas was officially annexed in 1845; however, the United States government had not yet found a governor for Texas, and therefore, allowed them to continue governing themselves until they found a suitable governor in 1846.
***During this 4-year break, Texas abandoned the Stars and Stripes flag for the Confederate flag in 1861 during the Civil War. It assumed the United States flag once again when it was readmitted into the Union in 1865.
