Talk about a quick pit stop!Mexico: Held the reins for a good chunk of the 19th century. Ole!Republic of Texas: A brief but glorious period of independence before joining the U.S. Go, Lone Star Republic!Confederate States of America: A dark chapter in Texas history, reflected in the park's Confederate section (though it's a bit of a controversial topic, so let's tread lightly).United States of America: The current flag-waver, and the one we're all pretty familiar with.

So, Why Not "Six Flags Under Texas"?
You might be wondering why it's not "Six Flags Under Texas." Well, apparently, the park's founder's wife had a thing about the word "under." Fair enough. We can all relate to having a picky spouse.
