	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 684
	WHEREAS, Residents of Live Oak County are gathering in
	Austin on April 13, 2011, to share their justifiable pride in
	their unique part of the Lone Star State; and
	WHEREAS, In the years before the land became part of Texas,
	the area now known as Live Oak County was home to Native American
	tribes, Spanish and Mexican colonists, and Irish immigrants, and
	this rich cultural diversity has greatly influenced the
	development of the area; and
	WHEREAS, The county was created on February 2, 1856, from
	San Patricio and Nueces Counties and was named after the imposing
	and majestic live oaks that grew throughout much of the region;
	and
	WHEREAS, The rugged beauty of Live Oak County's brushy
	plains is complemented by the Frio, Nueces, and Atascosa Rivers,
	and admirers of the Texas landscape are drawn to such attractions
	as Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon State Park; and
	WHEREAS, Area revenue originally came from sheep, cattle,
	and cotton, but later was diversified by the discovery of oil and
	natural gas in the county in the 1930s and by the discovery of
	uranium in the 1960s; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to George West, the county seat, the
	communities located in Live Oak County include Three Rivers,
	Dinero, Lagarto, Oakville, Pernitas Point, and Whitsett, and
	residents of these towns join in honoring their distinctive part
	of Texas; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
	Legislature, hereby recognize April 13, 2011, as Live Oak County
	Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those associated with
	this event best wishes for a meaningful and memorable day; and,
	be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
	honor of this occasion.
