| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join the citizens of San Patricio County in celebrating March 6, | ||
| 2019, as San Patricio County Day at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Originally inhabited by the Karankawa Indians, | ||
| San Patricio County covers a 693 square-mile area in the Coastal | ||
| Prairies region of the lower Gulf Coast; the area was first | ||
| colonized in the early 1800s, and the county was established in | ||
| 1836 by the Congress of the new Republic of Texas; Sinton became | ||
| the county seat in 1893; and | ||
| WHEREAS, San Patricio County's mild, moist climate and | ||
| extended growing season fostered thriving farming and ranching | ||
| industries, and the arrival of the railroad followed by the | ||
| discovery of oil and gas in the early 20th century gave rise to a | ||
| more diversified economy; industry and agriculture continue to | ||
| serve as the foundation of the local economy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Residents of San Patricio County enjoy a quiet | ||
| rural lifestyle while taking advantage of the many urban | ||
| trappings of neighboring Corpus Christi; the county is home to | ||
| the Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife Foundation and Refuge, making | ||
| it a favored destination for outdoor enthusiasts, and visitors | ||
| from all walks of life enjoy the county's numerous events and | ||
| festivals and the recreational opportunities afforded by Corpus | ||
| Christi Bay; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the years, the citizens of San Patricio County | ||
| have contributed greatly to the growth and prosperity of the Lone | ||
| Star State, and they can be justifiably proud of their many | ||
| achievements as they look to the future; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize March 6, 2019, as San Patricio | ||
| County Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting | ||
| delegation best wishes for an enjoyable event; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the residents of San Patricio County as a memento of this occasion. | ||
