Mainly because it was one of the seven States that seceded from the Union before Fort Sumter.

Yes it's on that historical basis that it gets the label. Demographically only East TX can possibly fit. San Antonio and parts south and west fit better with AZ. Even DFW has more in common with KC than Atlanta.

It seems fitting that the largest share of non-Texans in the Austin area in 1880 are from TN, and a century later it's the musical counter point to Nashville.
