WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
join the citizens of Real County and Texans across the state in | ||
celebrating Real County Day at the State Capitol on January 24, | ||
2011; and | ||
WHEREAS, Real County was established in 1913 from parts of | ||
Edwards, Bandera, and Kerr Counties, and it was named for Julius | ||
Real, the only Republican in the Texas Senate at that time; and | ||
WHEREAS, Situated on the Balcones Escarpment, on the | ||
southern edge of the Edwards Plateau, Real County is marked by | ||
the rugged terrain and scenic canyons of the Frio and Nueces | ||
Rivers; and | ||
WHEREAS, Anglo-American settlers first came to the area in | ||
the 1850s, and the military post Camp Wood was established in | ||
1857; ranching soon came to dominate the local economy, with the | ||
raising of angora goats and sheep playing a major role; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, ranching continues to play a vital role in | ||
the economy of Real County, with tourism and hunting also | ||
contributing greatly to its prosperity; the county is also known | ||
for its pecans; Leakey, the county seat, annually hosts the July | ||
Jubilee; and | ||
WHEREAS, Real County Day at the Capitol is an excellent | ||
opportunity to celebrate the history and the fine qualities of | ||
this area; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the people of Real County on their | ||
many contributions to the rich historical legacy of our state and | ||
extend to them best wishes for a memorable Real County Day at the | ||
State Capitol; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
Uresti | ||
