6	12		WHEREAS, The area known today as Jim Wells County became a
7	13		part of Texas after the republic gained independence from Mexico
8	14		in 1836, and by 1850, there were extensive landholdings in the
9	15		area; railroads soon followed and led to the development of a
10	16		town, which was named Alice for the daughter of famed Texas
11	17		rancher Richard King, and it eventually became the county seat
12	18		and the largest cattle-shipping point in the world; and
13	19		WHEREAS, Jim Wells County was established by the Texas
14	20		Legislature on March 11, 1911, and was named for politician and
15	21		land developer James B. Wells Jr.; the county contributed
16	22		significantly to the development of southwestern Texas, and
17	23		since the mid-1800s, its cattle industry has played a key role in
18	24		the area's economy; and
19	25		WHEREAS, The first significant oil activity in Jim Wells
20	26		County began in 1936, and the first regional major oil producer
21	27		was established northeast of Alice; the county's economy has
22	28		benefited from the oil business, ranching, cattle shipping, and
23	29		cotton and grain production, in addition to a thriving public
24	30		school system, a modern hospital, and the health services
25	31		industry; and
26	32		WHEREAS, The history of Jim Wells County is dutifully
27	33		preserved at the South Texas Museum, which has been designated a
28	34		Texas Historic Landmark; it is indeed fitting that the citizens
29	35		of Jim Wells County take pride in their unique heritage as they
30	36		celebrate their many contributions to the Lone Star State; now,
31	37		therefore, be it
32	38		RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
33	39		Legislature, hereby recognize March 6, 2025, as Jim Wells County
34	40		Day at the Capitol and extend to the county's visiting delegates
35	41		best wishes for a memorable and productive visit to Austin; and,
36	42		be it further

38	44		honor of this special occasion.
