WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the citizens of Victoria County who are gathering in | ||
Austin to celebrate March 6, 2013, as Victoria County Day at the | ||
State Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Victoria County is located in southeastern Texas | ||
on the Coastal Plain; with its abundant natural grasslands and | ||
subtropical climate allowing for year-round grazing, the county | ||
became a leader in the development of the Texas cattle industry; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, As knowledge about cultivating prairie soils | ||
grew, commercial farming of diverse crops developed in the area | ||
in the late 1890s, and the production of corn and cotton grew in | ||
importance; and | ||
WHEREAS, The area was first colonized by Martin de Leon in | ||
1824, with the establishment of the settlement named for the | ||
first president of Mexico, Don Guadalupe Victoria; Victoria | ||
County was one of the original 23 counties established by the | ||
First Congress of the Republic of Texas on March 17, 1836; and | ||
WHEREAS, Located in the heart of the Golden Crescent, | ||
Victoria is the county's largest city and is the county seat; | ||
since its humble beginnings in the early 1800s, the city of | ||
Victoria has become the cultural, historic, and economic hub for | ||
nearby communities and the surrounding counties; and | ||
WHEREAS, Victoria County Day is an excellent opportunity | ||
to pay tribute to the unique history and qualities of Victoria | ||
County and the many contributions it has made to our state; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize March 6, 2013, as Victoria County | ||
Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation | ||
sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in | ||
Austin; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the citizens of Victoria County in honor of this special day. | ||
