H.R. No. 2339

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Residents of Marshall are gathering in Austin on
April 29, 2015, to celebrate City of Marshall Day at the State
Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Located near the Texas-Louisiana border in the
beautiful rolling hills of East Texas, the city was named in honor
of John Marshall, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1801
to 1835, and it has served as the seat of Harrison County since
1842; and
WHEREAS, Marshall had become one of the largest and
wealthiest towns in the region by 1860, and its success was due in
large part to the railway system that supported the town's
commercial and industrial development and sizable agricultural
industry; and
WHEREAS, Today, it is home to four institutions of higher
learning: East Texas Baptist University, Texas State Technical
College, Wiley College, and Marshall College Center of Panola
College; it is an important retail and manufacturing center, with
oil and gas production also contributing to its economy;
additionally, residents have built a flourishing ceramics trade,
and it has become widely known as the Pottery Capital of East Texas;
and
WHEREAS, Citizens of Marshall demonstrate a deep commitment
to preserving their heritage, and the Ginocchio National Historic
District features one of the state's finest examples of Victorian
hotel architecture, the 1896 Ginocchio Hotel; the city is also the
site of the Texas and Pacific Railroad Depot Museum, the Allen
House, the Weisman Center, and the Harrison County Historical
Museum; and
WHEREAS, Declared by the city commission as the Birthplace of
Boogie Woogie, Marshall celebrates this unique distinction with a
variety of music events throughout the year; the Marshall Regional
Arts Council sponsors performances, and the Michelson Museum of
Art, the Marshall Symphony, and the Marshall Visual Art Center all
contribute to the cultural vibrancy of this remarkable East Texas
community; and
WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich and colorful history as they
work to build a bright future, the citizens of Marshall may take
justifiable pride in the important role their town continues to
play in the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize April 29, 2015, as City of Marshall
Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those who are visiting
sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and informative trip to
Austin.
