Texas long held the title as one of America's largest Hispanic/Latino percentages and Mexican populations ever since the state became a Republic in 1836 and joined the US in 1845. The state's Southernmost counties and towns along the Rio Grande river (the US-Mexican border) are majority Hispanic for over 150 years according to US census records, but Mexican immigration was steady in the late 20th century across the state.[citation needed]

[edit] Southwestern USA

In five states formerly part of Mexico until the US annexation after the Mexican-American War in 1848. Some of the communities retained a Mexican/Hispanic cultural majority, others had been popular areas of choice for Mexican immigrants.
