H.R. No. 937 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Residents of Deer Park are gathering in Austin on | ||
March 25 and 26, 2019, to celebrate Deer Park Days at the State | ||
Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Located in central Harris County, the area was first | ||
settled in 1892 by farmer and former Illinois legislator Simeon | ||
Henry West, and it was named for the abundant deer that roamed the | ||
Gulf region during that time; in 1893, Mr. West built a hotel and | ||
post office, and a railway station was established soon after; and | ||
WHEREAS, Deer Park was incorporated in 1948; in the | ||
subsequent decades, the city saw significant growth, and today, it | ||
is home to more than 30,000 residents; education is a key element in | ||
the city's productivity, and in conjunction with the surrounding | ||
communities, Deer Park has supported San Jacinto Junior College | ||
since its opening in 1961; and | ||
WHEREAS, Visitors and residents alike enjoy a range of | ||
recreational opportunities, including a community theater and | ||
numerous parks; the city also offers such historical attractions as | ||
Patrick's Cabin, the site at which the initial treaty papers were | ||
drafted following the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto, where Texas | ||
secured its independence from Mexico; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under the exceptional leadership of president Tim | ||
Culp, chair Heather Taylor, and board members, the Deer Park | ||
Chamber of Commerce is a strong agent promoting economic vitality | ||
and quality of life in the region; and | ||
WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich heritage as they embrace the | ||
opportunities of the future, the citizens of this notable city are | ||
justifiably proud of the place they call home, and it is indeed | ||
fitting to honor them and their unique contributions to the story of | ||
the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize March 25 and 26, 2019, as Deer Park | ||
Days at the State Capitol and extend to all those in attendance | ||
sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin. | ||
Perez | ||
Cain | ||
