| WHEREAS, The celebration of Lufkin-Angelina County Day at | ||
| the Capitol on February 10, 2011, provides a fitting opportunity | ||
| to recognize this outstanding part of the Lone Star State and to | ||
| welcome visitors from the area, including members of the Lufkin | ||
| Chamber of Commerce and of the Leadership Lufkin Class of 2010 | ||
| and 2011; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Organized in 1846, Angelina County was named for a | ||
| Hainai Indian maiden who is said to have aided Spanish | ||
| missionaries living in the area around 1690; the county is | ||
| situated in the Piney Woods and rolling hills of East Texas, in a | ||
| region nestled between the Angelina River on the north and Neches | ||
| River on the south; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since the arrival of the railroads in the 1880s, | ||
| Angelina County has consistently benefited from a thriving | ||
| lumber business, and over the years, a variety of other | ||
| industries have flourished as well, including farming and | ||
| manufacturing; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Residents of Angelina County enjoy a wealth of | ||
| recreational opportunities; the county is home to the Angelina | ||
| National Forest, and the region's largest lake, the Sam Rayburn | ||
| Reservoir, offers superior bass fishing and an outlet for | ||
| swimming and boating; moreover, the county seat of Lufkin | ||
| features such compelling attractions as the Texas Forestry | ||
| Museum, the Museum of East Texas, and the Ellen Trout Zoo; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Angelina County has long been an area rich in | ||
| natural and cultural resources, and it gives the members of this | ||
| chamber great pleasure to honor the many significant | ||
| contributions of this fine Texas county to our state; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize February 10, 2011, as | ||
| Lufkin-Angelina County Day at the Capitol and extend best wishes | ||
| to the visiting delegation; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of Lufkin and Angelina County. | ||
