WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the residents of Hudspeth County as they celebrate | ||
Hudspeth County Day at the Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, This mineral-rich county is celebrated for its | ||
scenic vistas, natural springs, and broad blue skies; occupying | ||
4,500 square miles in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas, Hudspeth | ||
County embodies the mythos of the American West; and | ||
WHEREAS, The county was formed from land in El Paso County | ||
in 1917 and named after State Senator Claude Benton Hudspeth; the | ||
area has been populated for centuries, however, and its history | ||
encompasses a diverse range of cultures, from prehistoric | ||
hunter-gatherer societies to the economically rewarding | ||
agricultural communities of today; and | ||
WHEREAS, Located in the Chihuahuan Desert, Hudspeth County | ||
is both strikingly rugged and agriculturally fertile; its | ||
farmers are famous for their pima cotton and cantaloupe crops, | ||
and cattle ranching is a mainstay; and | ||
WHEREAS, Residents of Hudspeth County enjoy recreational | ||
destinations such as the Guadalupe Mountains National Park and | ||
unique attractions like the Hudspeth County Courthouse, which is | ||
the only adobe courthouse in Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, This picturesque corner of the Lone Star State is | ||
a West Texas jewel, and its people are known for their confidence | ||
and their pioneering spirit; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize Hudspeth County Day at the Capitol | ||
and extend to the residents of Hudspeth County best wishes for an | ||
enjoyable and productive visit to Austin; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of Hudspeth County. | ||
