	H.R. No. 598



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Proud residents of Kaufman County are gathering in
	Austin on March 27, 2017, to celebrate Kaufman County Day at the
	State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Situated in the fertile blackland prairie of
	Northeast Texas, Kaufman County was home to Cherokee and Caddo
	Indians when settlers arrived in 1840 and established a community
	that became known as Kingsboro; and
	WHEREAS, In 1848, Kaufman County was carved out of Henderson
	County and named in honor of David Spangler Kaufman, a member of the
	Texas Legislature and the United States Congress; three years
	later, the settlement of Kingsboro became the county seat and took
	the new name of Kaufman; and
	WHEREAS, Among the area's notable historic sites is the
	Kaufman County Poor Farm, which was established in 1883 to provide
	housing to indigent residents; other landmarks include the Porter
	Farm near Terrell, the Spellman Museum of Forney History, the
	Kaufman County Veterans Memorial Park and Vietnam Memorial Wall,
	the Terrell Heritage Museum, and the No. 1 British Flying Training
	School Museum in Terrell; and
	WHEREAS, Treasuring their rich heritage as they look forward
	to a bright and promising future, the citizens of Kaufman County may
	take great pride in the role their communities continue to play in
	the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 27, 2017, as Kaufman County Day
	at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere
	best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable visit.

	Gooden
