What TEXAS Looked Like Before Everything Changed

Experience the Texas of the 1960s and early 1970s when the state had 11 million people instead of 30 million, Dallas was smaller than Philadelphia, and cotton fields stretched across the landscape. Before the modern boom, Texas was fundamentally different. Population of just 11 million people versus 30+ million today, Dallas with 850K people and 15-minute drives downtown, Houston under a million with the Galleria opening in 1970 and the Astrodome as its marvel, Austin as a sleepy 250K college town before Willie Nelson returned in 1972, King Ranch covering 800,000 acres larger than Rhode Island, courthouse square towns with functioning main streets, houses costing $25K-35K in major cities, gas at 35 cents per gallon, regional BBQ wars between East Texas pork and Central Texas brisket, conservative Democratic politics before the Republican shift, and the realization that the 1973 oil embargo would change everything. This was small-town, agricultural, affordable Texas before the transformation. #Texas #TexasHistory #PreBoomTexas
