  • ... that Sabine Lake (pictured) has marked the border between French Louisiana and Spanish Texas, the United States and the Republic of Texas, and now the U.S. states of Louisiana and Texas? Source: "By earlier treaties with Spain and the Republic of Texas, the boundary between Texas and Louisiana was placed at the western landfall of the Sabine River, Lake and the Sabine Pass, although the common boundary in more recent times had been placed in mid-stream."

Improved to Good Article status by Bryanrutherford0 (talk). Self-nominated at 13:53, 4 April 2020 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - There needs to be a source after every sentence that is mentioned in the hook. Per WP:DYK#Cited hook one source at the end of the paragraph is not enough. This should be easy, though. Just copy the ref and paste it after every sentence.
QPQ: Done.
