R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Residents of Live Oak County are gathering in Austin
on April 15, 2013, to share their justifiable pride in their unique
part of the Lone Star State; and
WHEREAS, In the years before the land became part of Texas,
the area now known as Live Oak County was home to Native American
tribes, Spanish and Mexican colonists, and Irish immigrants, and
this rich cultural diversity has greatly influenced the development
of the area; and
WHEREAS, The county was created on February 2, 1856, from San
Patricio and Nueces Counties and was named after the imposing and
majestic live oaks that grew throughout much of the region; and
WHEREAS, The rugged beauty of Live Oak County's brushy plains
is complemented by the Frio, Nueces, and Atascosa Rivers, and
admirers of the Texas landscape are drawn to such attractions as
Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon State Park; and
WHEREAS, Area revenue originally came from sheep, cattle, and
cotton, but later was diversified by the discovery of oil and
natural gas in the county in the 1930s and by the discovery of
uranium in the 1960s; and
WHEREAS, In addition to George West, the county seat, the
communities located in Live Oak County include Three Rivers,
Dinero, Lagarto, Oakville, Pernitas Point, and Whitsett, and
residents of these towns join in honoring their distinctive part of
Texas; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize April 15th, 2013, as Live Oak County
Day at the State Capitol and extend best wishes to the visiting
delegation for an informative and enjoyable stay in Austin; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the County as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
