SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 31
|
|
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. |
