SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 296
         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 Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
  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.
