    Why was Ima Hogg known as "The First Lady of Texas"?

    		"Hogg was affectionately known as "Miss Ima" by those who knew her, and widely considered to be "The First Lady of Texas". When John B. Connally was Governor of Texas, his wife Nellie declared, "The Governor's wife is usually called the First Lady of the State, but Ima always has been and always will be the First Lady of Texas."

    		I was told as a child she had a sister named Ura. I believed it until one minute ago.

    Many years ago someone told me that Texas is the only state that has a town named after each of the eight planets, excluding Earth. I have only found two in Texas, Jupiter and Mars. Maybe one of the nice people that come here can put this to rest once and for all. Are there eight towns in Texas named after the planets?
