| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join the citizens of Caldwell County and Texans across the state | ||
| in celebrating May 1, 2019, as Caldwell County Day at the State | ||
| Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Caldwell County was formed in 1848 out of | ||
| territory from Bastrop and Gonzales Counties and is named for | ||
| Mathew Caldwell, a signer of the Texas Declaration of | ||
| Independence; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For many years, the county's economy was based on | ||
| agriculture; thousands of cattle were driven north on the | ||
| Chisholm Trail and other trails in the county, and cotton became | ||
| a major crop in the 1890s after A. D. Mebane developed strains of | ||
| cotton that could flourish in less fertile soils; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The 1922 discovery of oil in the Luling and | ||
| Prairie Lea area served to diversify the county's economy; today, | ||
| the production of oil and gas continues to play an important | ||
| role, along with farming, ranching, and manufacturing, in | ||
| driving the region's economy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Caldwell County offers residents and visitors | ||
| ample outdoor recreational opportunities and features a wide | ||
| variety of architectural attractions, including a beautifully | ||
| restored courthouse and the oldest Episcopal church in Texas; the | ||
| people of Caldwell County eagerly look forward to a bright future | ||
| while continuing to cherish their rich and colorful past; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Caldwell County on | ||
| their many contributions to our state and extend to them best | ||
| wishes for a memorable Caldwell County Day at the State Capitol; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this special occasion. | ||
