	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 211
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the citizens of Waller County who are gathering in
	Austin to celebrate Waller County Day at the State Capitol on
	February 27, 2013; and
	WHEREAS, Created by the Texas Legislature in 1873 from
	sections of Austin and Grimes Counties, Waller County is named
	for Edwin Waller, a signatory of the Texas Declaration of
	Independence and the City of Austin's first mayor; and
	WHEREAS, Waller County's early settlers were members of
	Stephen F. Austin's original Texas colony, and the county served
	as the site of an encampment for the army of General Sam Houston
	in the Texas Revolution; and
	WHEREAS, Before the discovery of oil in the 1930s, the
	economy of Waller County was driven largely by agriculture, with
	cotton being the foremost crop; a diverse population of African
	Americans, Italians, Irish, Germans, Poles, and Czechs came to
	the region in the late 18th century and early 19th century; and
	WHEREAS, The citizens of Waller County are justly proud of
	their county's distinguished history and the many contributions
	its people have made to the growth and progress of our state; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
	83rd Legislature, hereby recognize February 27, 2013, as Waller
	County Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the
	citizens of Waller County who have traveled to the Capitol for
	this commemoration; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	the Waller County delegation in honor of this special day.
