Hijo de Estado Chico

Greetings,

As I am new to Nuestros Ranchos, please forgive me if I am not upto date. However, I have been reading about the person looking to understand what "Hijo de Estado Chico" means.

If I am not mistaken, in the old days one was described due to their economical status. Although "Estado" could mean or describe someone "status" lets not forget it also stands for "State" as in location. The word chico could mean "minor" meaning under age, but it could also stand for "small" as in someone from a small state/town. I think when they announce Estado Chico, it could mean someone from a small town/ranch, someone without large economical status or resources, maybe a humble person, etc......

Thank you for allowing me to give my input
