8 The Polish Plymouth Rock
In the 1850s, a group of Polish immigrants left their
homeland to seek opportunity in Texas. Their first years
were difficult ones, but they made Panna Maria, in
South Texas, their home. Today, the community is the
oldest Polish settlement in the United States.

14 EuroTexans: Their Lone Star Legacy
Europe gave Texas some of the settlers who would
make lasting impacts on the state for generations to
come. Czechs, Germans, and Wends are among
some of the groups that are still forging their legacies
here today.

18 Tracing Texas Roots
to the Canary Islands
The promise of land was the magnet that first drew
settlers from the Canary Islands, off the African
coast, to Texas almost three centuries ago. Settling
in present-day San Antonio, these immigrants
founded the first civil government in the state and
helped plant the seeds for industries such as farming
and ranching that are still important in modernday
Texas.
