5	5	WHEREAS, On February 19, 2009, proud residents of Austin
6	6	County are gathering at the State Capitol to celebrate their
7	7	county's achievements and unique place in the history of the Lone
8	8	Star State; and
9	9	WHEREAS, The area that would become Austin County was one of
10	10	the locations settled by the initial colonists who were brought to
11	11	Texas by Stephen F. Austin; the first English-language newspaper in
12	12	Texas, the Gazette, was launched in 1829 in the colony's main town,
13	13	San Felipe de Austin; this settlement played an important part in
14	14	the Texas Revolution, briefly serving as capital of the provisional
15	15	government; it became the county seat upon the founding of Austin
16	16	County in 1837 but was soon supplanted by Bellville; and
17	17	WHEREAS, Beginning in the 1830s, hundreds of German
18	18	immigrants settled in the county, and this wave of migration
19	19	accelerated when well-educated dissidents fled Germany following a
20	20	failed revolution in 1848; these residents supported the
21	21	establishment of an opera house in Bellville, a German-language
22	22	weekly newspaper, and numerous other elements drawn from
23	23	traditional German culture; the county's sizeable African American
24	24	community began forming similar institutions during
25	25	Reconstruction, among them a newspaper and a school for black
26	26	students; Czech farmers also contributed to the distinctive
27	27	character of early Austin County, and large numbers of Mexican
28	28	immigrants began arriving after the First World War; and
29	29	WHEREAS, Industrial growth brought prominence to the town of
30	30	Sealy, which became a commercial center in the late 1800s with such
31	31	manufacturers as the Sealy Mattress Factory and the Engleking
32	32	Brothers Broom Factory; Sealy is also the hometown of music great
33	33	Huey Long, a jazz guitarist and original member of the Ink Spots;
34	34	some of his memorabilia is on display today at the Heritage
35	35	Park/Santa Fe Park Museum, a fascinating complex that also includes
36	36	an original settler's prairie home, an antique caboose, and the
37	37	town's old jail; and
38	38	WHEREAS, Tourism has joined agribusiness and manufacturing
39	39	as a key component of the economy; the county's colorful past
40	40	provides many splendid attractions and visitors to Stephen F.
41	41	Austin State Park can view the original site of San Felipe de Austin
42	42	while enjoying hiking, fishing, and other recreational pursuits;
43	43	moreover, countless travelers come to Austin County in the spring
44	44	for the scenic vistas of bluebonnets and other wildflowers; and
45	45	WHEREAS, Austin County maintains its pastoral charm and its
46	46	many links to Texas heritage even as it prepares for the
47	47	opportunities of the future, and it is most fitting to take this
48	48	opportunity to honor it; now, therefore, be it
49	49	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
50	50	Legislature hereby recognize February 19, 2009, as Austin County
51	51	Day and extend to its delegation sincere best wishes for an
52	52	enjoyable and rewarding visit to the State Capitol.
