Did the sombrero hat originate in Mexico or was it somewhere else like the United States or Spain?

Senior Moments

The word 'sombrero' is a derivative of the Spanish word 'sombra' meaning shade. This particular hat has a flat crown and a very wide, flat brim. The Texas cowboy adopted this venerable Spanish sombrero. The Mexican variation of the sombrero added an even wider brim and a high, conical crown, the hats worn by the mariachi musicians and charros. These hats are too large and unwieldy for ranch work. Both types of hat usually include a barboquejo or chin strap. Dec 24 01, 12:33 AM

Did the sombrero hat originate in Mexico or was it somewhere else like USA or Spain ? I just posted a question and it said "sorry this question already asked" but I don't see it in newest questions asked. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? I read somewhere that all the movies ever made could be grouped into actually a fairly small number of genres or categories, like love. How many else were there? In the States, the "postcard image" of Britain is that guard dressed in red with a big black fluffy hat. What is the name and history of that uniform? In which state can people see the sun rise before anyone else in the United States?
