| WHEREAS, Citizens from Shelby County, including members of | ||
| the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce, are celebrating Shelby | ||
| County Day at the State Capitol on March 31, 2011; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Originally organized by the Mexican government as | ||
| the Tenehaw Municipality, this lovely region was reorganized as | ||
| Shelby County by the Congress of the Republic of Texas in 1836 and | ||
| was named for Isaac Shelby, a United States Revolutionary War | ||
| soldier from Tennessee; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Nestled deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas, | ||
| Shelby County is rich in natural resources, and the area's | ||
| economy is boosted by the Haynesville Shale, timber, cattle, and | ||
| poultry production; although agriculture has served as the | ||
| foundation of the county's economy, the economy was enhanced by | ||
| the manufacturing that began in 1850; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Center, the county seat and the county's largest | ||
| town, is home to the Shelby County Museum, Shelby Junior College, | ||
| and the Shelby County Courthouse, which is listed on the National | ||
| Register of Historic Places as the only Irish-castle-style | ||
| courthouse in the nation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Shelby County's landscape is rich with hills and | ||
| timber and is an ideal area for hunting, fishing, and camping; | ||
| the county was certified by Texas Commissioner of Agriculture | ||
| Todd Staples as a Go Texan Certified Retirement Community in | ||
| 2008; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This unique and vibrant county continues to be one | ||
| of the Lone Star State's most treasured regions, and it is a | ||
| pleasure to pay tribute to the residents of Shelby County and | ||
| express appreciation for their contributions to our fair state; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize March 31, 2011, as Shelby County | ||
| Day at the State Capitol and extend to the delegation here today | ||
| sincere best wishes for an enjoyable visit; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of Shelby County. | ||
