Honoring Texas History: Proposed park looking for a Conroe home
by Brad Meyer

Texas is unique in the history of the USA because it is the only state in the union that was once a sovereign nation.  During its early years and valiant efforts to free itself, many heroes led revolutionary causes with the goal of a free and independent Texas. 

During that time the Texas flag went through a metamorphosis that not only identified the will of the people but led volunteer troops into battle.

Everyone is aware of the 6 national flags that flew over the Texas region but few are aware of the many flags that flew as symbols of the state itself during its infancy and its struggle to become independent before the Lone Star Flag was voted and settled on by the Texas congress in the 1860s.

As the Birthplace of the Lone Star Flag, Montgomery County holds a very special designation in the hearts of all Texans. The Texas Flag is one of the most recognized symbols in the world.

It flies proudly over every courthouse in Texas, every police station, every stadium, every school and university, and in front of homes and businesses.  The Lone Star Flag is on bumper stickers, chairs, key chains, record albums, shirts and even shoes!  The Texas flag is a worldwide symbol of freedom, strength of will, and pride.  Certainly no state in the Union holds as high a regard for their flag as Texans do!

And that symbol that joins us all together as one began in Montgomery County.

Given our history as an independent nation, an educational park celebrating this historic area and the history of the state flags that flew over our great state would no doubt be the most unique park in Texas.  This park would draw not only people from all over the world but would serve as a valuable educational tool for the school children of Texas and its citizens.
