SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 184
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
welcome the visiting delegation from Red River County on the
occasion of Red River County Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Red River County was formally established in
December of 1837 by President Sam Houston during the First
Congress of the Republic of Texas; archeological evidence
indicates that parts of the county were occupied by Native
Americans as early as 1500 B. C., and many creeks in the area bear
the names of tribes that immigrated to the area in the early
1800s; and
WHEREAS, Red River County is fortunate to have some of the
most fertile soil in the state and occupies 1,054 square miles
of East Texas timberlands; the economy thrives on such major
agricultural products as soybean and wheat and on the cattle
industry; Clarksville, the county seat, is home to Magnolia
Brush Manufacturers, which distributes industrial brushes
worldwide; and
WHEREAS, Clarksville has been named an official Texas Main
Street City, a National Main Street City, and a Preserve American
community; residents throughout the county take pride in their
heritage and in the county's many assets and contributions to our
state; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
84th Legislature, hereby join the Red River County delegation in
celebrating Red River County Day at the State Capitol and
extend to all best wishes for a memorable visit to Austin; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
