H.R. No. 776
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Proud residents of Cass County are gathering in
Austin on March 4, 2015, to celebrate Cass County Day at the State
Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Situated in Northeast Texas, where it borders
Arkansas and Louisiana, Cass County covers 937 square miles of
ruggedly beautiful timberland and hilly countryside; the county was
created by the First Legislature of Texas in 1846, and its early
economy was based mainly on cotton production, with lumber and
manufacturing also playing a role; currently, the county has a
population of more than 30,000, and visitors come for hunting and
fishing, as well as for a variety of historical attractions, many of
which can be found in the county seat of Linden; and
WHEREAS, Home to the historic Cass County Courthouse, built
in 1861 and still in use today, Linden hosts a variety of annual
events, including the Cass County Championship Rodeo and the Linden
Art and Wine Festival; the town is rich in musical associations: Don
Henley grew up there, T-Bone Walker was born there, and Scott Joplin
was born nearby; today, many diverse performances at the local
Music City Texas Theater attract audiences from across the country;
and
WHEREAS, Atlanta, with a population of approximately 5,600,
is the largest city in Cass County; established in the early 1870s
along the line of the Texas and Pacific Railway, the town developed
into a major supply center; tourists are now drawn to the Atlanta
State Park for outdoor recreation and to the town's Forest
Festival, a popular event held for the first time nearly 50 years
ago; other notable communities of the county include Hughes Springs
and Queen City, which also owe their beginnings to the arrival of
the railways, and Avinger, which joins with Hughes Springs and
Linden each spring in hosting the Wildflower Trails Festival; and
WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich history as they work together
to build a bright future, the citizens of Cass County may take
justifiable pride in the important role their unique region
continues to play in the story of the Lone Star State; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 4, 2015, as Cass County Day at
the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere
best wishes for an informative and enjoyable stay in Austin.
