| WHEREAS, Representatives of the City of Castroville are | ||
| gathering in Austin on April 4, 2023, to celebrate Castroville | ||
| Legislative Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Castroville is located along U.S. Highway 90, | ||
| just 20 minutes west of San Antonio; the city was established by a | ||
| group of mainly Alsatian immigrants led by the empresario Henri | ||
| Castro in 1844, and the prominent role the immigrants played in | ||
| building the community went on to lend it the moniker the "Little | ||
| Alsace of Texas"; it served as the county seat of Medina County | ||
| until 1893; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Castroville is home to around 3,000 | ||
| residents who enjoy its small-town atmosphere and historic | ||
| character, along with the benefits of living in close proximity | ||
| to San Antonio; the City of Castroville is a proud partner of the | ||
| Medina Valley Independent School District and its public | ||
| education system, which was awarded an "A," the state's highest | ||
| accountability rating; the community continues to celebrate its | ||
| heritage with the Alsatian Festival of Texas, in addition to | ||
| hosting other highly anticipated events such as the Tour de | ||
| Castroville, the Old-Fashioned 4th of July Weekend, and | ||
| Old-Fashioned Christmas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The citizens of Castroville are honoring their rich | ||
| history as they embrace the opportunities of the future, and they | ||
| may indeed take pride in the unique contributions their city has | ||
| made to the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize April 4, 2023, as Castroville | ||
| Legislative Day at the State Capitol and extend sincere | ||
| congratulations to the mayor, city council, city administrator, | ||
| and citizens of Castroville who have been instrumental to the | ||
| growth and success of this fine community. | ||
