| H.R. No. 59 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Citizens and business leaders of Dayton are | ||
| gathering in Austin on February 26, 2019, to celebrate Dayton Day at | ||
| the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Situated in southwest Liberty County, with the | ||
| Trinity River serving as its eastern boundary, Dayton is among the | ||
| oldest settled areas in the Lone Star State; as the highest point | ||
| between Houston and New Orleans, it served as a railway flag stop | ||
| for much of its early history; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Lumber, cattle, and rice farming were the primary | ||
| business interests in Dayton before the oil boom of the 1920s; the | ||
| discovery of oil in Southeast Texas brought rapid development, and | ||
| while agriculture is still vital to the local economy, jobs in metal | ||
| fabrication, chemical refining, oil field services, retail, and | ||
| coiled metal tubing and piping have expanded notably; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Dayton is home to more than 7,000 Texans; it | ||
| has an active chamber of commerce whose members are working to | ||
| enhance the city's overall well-being, and their achievements and | ||
| commitment are benefiting the economic environment throughout the | ||
| area; the town's residents and visitors alike can enjoy the | ||
| Colbert-Rosenwald School and the Dayton Historical Society Old | ||
| School Museums and take delight in annual events such as the Dayton | ||
| Ole Tyme Days Festival and the Spirit of Christmas celebration; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With a colorful history, an abundance of natural | ||
| resources, and an inviting small-town atmosphere, Dayton is a great | ||
| community in which to live and work, and its residents may indeed | ||
| take pride in the place they call home; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize February 26, 2019, as Dayton Day at | ||
| the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere | ||
| best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin. | ||
