| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join the citizens of Hudspeth County and Texans across the state | ||
| in celebrating Hudspeth County Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Situated in the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas, | ||
| Hudspeth County was formed in 1917 from land in eastern El Paso | ||
| County and named for State Senator Claude Benton Hudspeth; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Rich in minerals and crisscrossed with a series of | ||
| natural springs, Hudspeth County has been home to human | ||
| habitation since prehistory; the Jornada Mogollón people lived | ||
| in the area for hundreds of years, and 19th century settlers, | ||
| along with the United States Army and Texas Rangers, battled | ||
| Mescalero Apaches for control of the land; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Following the arrival of the railroad in the | ||
| 1880s, numerous agricultural communities arose, and American | ||
| pima cotton, hay, cantaloupes, and cattle ranching have become | ||
| mainstays of the county's economy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The citizens of Hudspeth County are confidently | ||
| facing the future while continuing to embrace their rich and | ||
| colorful past; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the people of Hudspeth County for | ||
| their many important contributions to our state's history and | ||
| progress and extend to them best wishes for a memorable Hudspeth | ||
| County Day at the State Capitol; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
| Uresti | ||
