     76th OREGON LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY--2011 Regular Session

                            Enrolled

                 House Concurrent Resolution 13

Sponsored by Representative MCLANE, Senators WHITSETT, BATES

  Whereas settlers to the Rogue Valley started a community on the
banks of the Little Butte Creek in the 1850s, along the military
road from Jacksonville to Fort Klamath; and
  Whereas in 1872 the Snowy Butte Mill was built, which further
developed the growing settlement's reputation as the 'Food
Basket' for Jacksonville and Medford; and
  Whereas the community's development through the first fifty
years of settlement caused community leaders to incorporate the
City of Eagle Point in 1911; and
  Whereas the city is named for the bald eagle population that
inhabited the surrounding hills; and
  Whereas Eagle Point continues to be a rich agricultural
community that includes the continuing operation of the Snowy
Butte Mill, now the Butte Creek Mill, which is the oldest
hydropower gristmill west of the Mississippi River; and
  Whereas Eagle Point has a strong tradition of supporting the
nation's defense, including seeing its citizens serve in World
War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, the
Persian Gulf War and the current engagements in Iraq and
Afghanistan; and
  Whereas for its strong support of the military, including the
support of the World War II training facility, Camp White,
located just outside of the city, Eagle Point has one of only
three National Cemeteries in Oregon; and
  Whereas Eagle Point has seen a dramatic population growth in
recent years, doubling to nearly 9,000 in ten years' time, most
of which is due to the development of one of Oregon's
highest-rated public golf courses; and
  Whereas Eagle Point continues to be a strong, supportive
community powered by its citizens; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:

  That we, the members of the Seventy-sixth Legislative Assembly,
commemorate the City of Eagle Point on its 100th anniversary and
convey our warmest regards to its residents.
