SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 464
         WHEREAS, Proud residents of Alamo are gathering in Austin
  on April 26, 2023, to celebrate the City of Alamo Day at the State
  Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Situated in the Rio Grande Valley, the city of
  Alamo is located in Hidalgo County and is known as "The Refuge to
  the Valley"; the area's first settlers were primarily farmers and
  ranchers who were attracted to the region by its fertile land and
  abundant water supply; after the arrival of the railroad in the
  early 1900s, the area experienced significant growth and
  development; in the years that followed, Alamo became an
  important agricultural center in the Rio Grande Valley, and crops
  such as cotton, citrus, and sorghum were major contributors to
  the local economy; the city was officially incorporated on May
  12, 1924, and it was named after the Indian-Spanish term for the
  cottonwood tree; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Alamo is a thriving city of nearly 19,500
  citizens that boasts a strong agricultural industry, and it
  continues to grow in commerce, ecotourism, and the arts;
  residents and visitors alike benefit from its close proximity to
  a number of popular tourist attractions, including South Padre
  Island and the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, and outdoor
  enthusiasts are drawn to the area for activities such as hiking,
  birdwatching, and camping; furthermore, the city has remained
  true to its cultural heritage and celebrates its history and
  traditions with such events as the annual Alamo Watermelon
  Festival, which is a state-sanctioned BBQ cook-off that honors
  the community's agricultural roots; and
         WHEREAS, Acknowledging their rich history as they work to
  build an even brighter future, the citizens of Alamo are
  justifiably proud of their community, and it is indeed fitting to
  honor their contributions to the story of the Lone Star State;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby recognize April 26, 2023, as the City of
  Alamo Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting
  delegation sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable
  stay in Austin.
