텍사스 카운티지도는이 거대한 주가있는 254 개 카운티를 포함하여 텍사스에서 모든 것이 더 크다는 것을 갑자기 분명하게 만들 것입니다. 텍사스는 미국의 다른 어떤 주보다 카운티를 더 많이 가지고 있습니다. 이는 Lone Star State의 크기를 고려하면 그다지 놀라운 것은 아닙니다.
이 카운티는 독립을위한 싸움으로 텍사스의 역사에 대한 찬사로 사용되며, 각 카운티의 이름은 주에 어떤 의미가 있으며 기념관 역할을합니다. 텍사스의 모든 카운티지도와 함께, 우리는 254 개 카운티, 카운티 좌석, 설립 된 해, 이름의 원점, 카운티 인구 및 카운티가 차지하는 총 면적을 나열하는 차트를 포함하고 싶었습니다.
텍사스 카운티지도
위의지도에서 볼 수 있듯이 텍사스는 크기가 약간 큰 카운티를 가지고 있습니다. 가장 작은 카운티는 로크 월이며, 에만옵니다 149 평방 마일, 텍사스에서 가장 큰 카운티는 Brewster 카운티로 6,192 평방 마일에옵니다. 가장 인구가 적은 카운티는 113 명에 불과한 카운티와 해리스 카운티 (휴스턴이있는 곳)에 450 만 명이있는 카운티가 사랑하는 카운티입니다. 두 번째로 인구가 많은 카운티는 250 만 명이있는 달라스 카운티 (댈러스가있는 곳)이며, 세 번째로 인구가 많은 카운티는 2 백만 명이있는 Tarrant County (포트 워스가 위치한 곳)입니다.
아래 차트에서“텍사스의 원래 23 개 카운티 중 하나”라는 대담하고 이탤릭체로 된 라인이있는 23 개 카운티가 표시됩니다. 큰 문제가 아닌 것처럼 보이지만,이 카운티는 실제로 텍사스 역사에서 역사적 중요성과 독립을위한 싸움을 가지고 있습니다. 텍사스가 미국에 의해 합병되기 전에, 공화국이되기 전에 텍사스는 멕시코와 스페인의 통치하에 있었고 23 개의 현지 운영 지방 자치 단체로 나뉘 었습니다.
텍사스가 독립을 위해 성공적으로 싸웠고 텍사스 공화국이 된 후 23 개의 지방 자치 단체가 텍사스에서 최초의 카운티가되었습니다. 이제 시간이 지남에 따라 원래 카운티는 분리되어 별도의 카운티가되었으므로 남아있는 것은 예전의 작은 덩어리이지만 여전히 역사의 일부입니다.
