| 5 | 6 | | WHEREAS, Proud residents are joining together to celebrate |
|---|
| 6 | 7 | | Austin County Day at the State Capitol on April 5, 2017; and |
|---|
| 7 | 8 | | WHEREAS, Situated between the Post Oak Savannah and the |
|---|
| 8 | 9 | | Coastal Prairie regions, the Austin County area became part of |
|---|
| 9 | 10 | | Stephen F. Austin's first colony in the early 1820s; the town of San |
|---|
| 10 | 11 | | Felipe de Austin was the administrative seat of the colony, and it |
|---|
| 11 | 12 | | played an important role in the Texas Revolution, hosting the |
|---|
| 12 | 13 | | conventions of 1832 and 1833 and briefly serving as the capital of |
|---|
| 13 | 14 | | the provisional government; and |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | WHEREAS, Austin County was created by the Constitution of |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | 1836 and was formally organized a year later; San Felipe was the |
|---|
| 16 | 17 | | county seat until 1848, when the county government was moved to the |
|---|
| 17 | 18 | | new community of Bellville; and |
|---|
| 18 | 19 | | WHEREAS, Blessed with an abundance of water, grassland, and |
|---|
| 19 | 20 | | forests, the county attracted settlers engaged in agriculture, and |
|---|
| 20 | 21 | | a number of towns grew substantially during the 19th century, |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | including Bellville and Wallis and the railroad towns of Sealy and |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | Kenney; German and Czech immigrants also arrived in Austin County, |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | and their influence is felt throughout the region in the societies |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | that they established and the many communities they founded; the |
|---|
| 25 | 26 | | cultural mosaic of the county has been further enriched by |
|---|
| 26 | 27 | | immigrants from Mexico, the largest foreign-born group to settle |
|---|
| 27 | 28 | | there in the 20th century, and by African Americans, who played a |
|---|
| 28 | 29 | | fundamental role in the county's development and in the creation of |
|---|
| 29 | 30 | | numerous social and religious institutions; and |
|---|
| 30 | 31 | | WHEREAS, Among the prominent Texans who have resided in |
|---|
| 31 | 32 | | Austin County was Gail Borden Jr., a surveyor and newspaper |
|---|
| 32 | 33 | | publisher who later invented a successful process for condensing |
|---|
| 33 | 34 | | milk; another early citizen, Robert Justus Kleberg, fought in the |
|---|
| 34 | 35 | | Battle of San Jacinto and held several prestigious public offices; |
|---|
| 35 | 36 | | and |
|---|
| 36 | 37 | | WHEREAS, Today, visitors and residents alike can explore the |
|---|
| 37 | 38 | | county's rich heritage, preserved at the San Felipe de Austin State |
|---|
| 38 | 39 | | Historic Site and in rural communities throughout the area, and |
|---|
| 39 | 40 | | they enjoy hunting and fishing opportunities as well as a wealth of |
|---|
| 40 | 41 | | special recreational events; and |
|---|
| 41 | 42 | | WHEREAS, Honoring their history as they embrace the |
|---|
| 42 | 43 | | opportunities of the future, the citizens of Austin County may |
|---|
| 43 | 44 | | indeed take great pride in their unique contributions to the story |
|---|
| 44 | 45 | | of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 45 | 46 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|---|
| 46 | 47 | | Legislature hereby recognize April 5, 2017, as Austin County Day at |
|---|
| 47 | 48 | | the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere |
|---|
| 48 | 49 | | best wishes for a meaningful and memorable event. |
