H.R. No. 546
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Citizens from Denton County are gathering in Austin
on February 24, 2015, to celebrate Denton County Day at the State
Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Located in North Texas, Denton County was created by
the Texas Legislature in 1846 and named for pioneer preacher,
lawyer, and soldier John Bunyan Denton; the early years of the
county saw its emergence as an agricultural center, and the arrival
of the railroads in the 1880s ensured that the area's wheat and
cotton would find distribution across the country; and
WHEREAS, The county has witnessed remarkable growth in recent
years, as its population tripled over the past two decades, and in
2013, Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class,
designated Denton County as the number 6 "high-tech hot spot" in the
nation; and
WHEREAS, Denton is home to the University of North Texas and
Texas Woman's University, which were founded as Texas Normal
College and Girls' Industrial College in 1890 and 1903,
respectively, as well as a campus of North Central Texas College,
and the alumni of these schools have gone on to make their mark on
the history of Texas and the nation; and
WHEREAS, Further attractions in the area include the beauty
of the North Texas Greenbelt, the architecture of the Denton County
Courthouse-on-the-Square, the majesty of the North Texas Horse
Country, and the action of the Texas Motor Speedway; and
WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich history even as they work to
build a bright future, the citizens of Denton County are
justifiably proud of their community, and it is most fitting to take
this opportunity to honor their contribution to the story of the
Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 24, 2015, as Denton County
Day at the State Capitol and extend best wishes to the members of
the visiting delegation for an enjoyable and memorable stay in
Austin.
