Hurst
Texas is a state located in the Southern and Western regions of the United States of America. The state is second largest in both area and population behind Alaska and California, respectively. The state's name derives from a word in the Caddoan language of the Hasinai. Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836 and existed as the independent Republic of Texas for nearly a decade. Texas is internationally known for its energy and aeronautics industries, and for its ship channel at the Port of Houston, the largest in the U.S. in international commerce and the sixth-largest port in the world.
Hurst is a city in Tarrant County, Texas, United States. The population was 36,273 at the 2000 census. Hurst is part of the Hurst-Euless-Bedford independent school district.
