SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 676
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the citizens of Hutto and Texans across the state in
celebrating May 9, 2017, as Hutto Day at the Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Hutto is located in the rich blacklands of
southeastern Williamson County; situated near Austin, Georgetown,
and Round Rock, and close to several major highways, it is one of
the fastest-growing cities in the state; and
WHEREAS, One of the earliest communities in what is now
Williamson County, Hutto was originally settled in 1855 by J. E.
Hutto, a native of Sweden, and Adam Orgain, a freed slave; the
railroad's arrival in 1876 provided a major catalyst for growth,
and the town was incorporated in 1911; and
WHEREAS, Hutto is blessed with a small-town charm, a growing
parks system, a dynamic workforce, and an award-winning school
district; it is home to the East Williamson County Higher
Education Center, an academic partnership between Temple College,
Texas State Technical College, and Texas A&M University-Central
Texas; and
WHEREAS, Once driven by cotton, the area's economy has
diversified to include thriving high-tech jobs, manufacturing
and service positions, and expanding retail opportunities; more
than ever before, Hutto is an exceptional place in which to live,
work, and raise a family; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby extend to the people of Hutto best wishes
for a productive and memorable Hutto Day at the Capitol; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
