The company took its name from the six flags that have flown over the State of Texas during its history, namely those of Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America and the Confederate States of America. In 2006, the company celebrated the 45th anniversary since the opening of Six Flags over Texas.

Currently there are only parks in The United States, Canada, and Mexico. In 2004, Six Flags sold off parks it had been operating in France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain.
