| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join the citizens of Ward County and Texans across the state in | ||
| celebrating Ward County Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Located along the southwestern edge of the High | ||

| in 1887 out of territory from Tom Green County and named for | ||
| Thomas W. Ward; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The citizens of Ward County have been witness to | ||
| many of our state's defining moments; the oil boom of the 1920s | ||
| and 1930s played a vital role in the county's history; farmers | ||
| from the county have established themselves as innovators, | ||
| developing a strain of alfalfa known as Barstow Common that is | ||
| still being planted today, and grapes from Ward County earned | ||
| first prize at the 1904 World's Fair in Saint Louis; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ward County offers a wide variety of attractions | ||
| for residents and visitors alike, including the Monahans | ||
| Sandhills State Historic Park and the Million Barrel Museum, | ||
| which commemorates the important role that petroleum has played | ||
| in the county and in our state's history; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The people of Ward 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 citizens of Ward County for their | ||
| many contributions to the prosperity and progress of our state | ||
| and extend to them best wishes for a memorable Ward 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. | ||
