  H.R. No. 252
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, On February 16 and 17, 2011, members of the
  Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Nacogdoches,
  and Stephen F. Austin State University and its Student Government
  and Alumni Associations are visiting Austin to celebrate
  Nacogdoches-SFA Days at the State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Nacogdoches is one of the oldest communities in the
  state, the site of a Caddo Native American settlement and a Spanish
  mission established in 1716; the city became an important gateway
  for trade with the French and later the Americans, and its lengthy
  list of Texas milestones includes the first newspaper, oil well,
  and two-story building, as well as the state's inaugural district
  court session; the nine flags flown over the city include those of
  three short-lived early republics; and
         WHEREAS, Today, the vintage charm of Nacogdoches brings
  myriad tourists, who explore such attractions as the Old Stone
  Fort, the Victorian homes along Mound Street, the 19th-century
  buildings of Millard's Crossing, and the quaint antique shops and
  restaurants along brick downtown streets; many also come to enjoy
  recreational activities at Nacogdoches Lake and Sam Rayburn
  Reservoir, known for their bass fishing; in addition to education
  and tourism, primary industries include agricultural services,
  manufacturing, and oil and gas; and
         WHEREAS, Education has been an important part of the area's
  economy since Stephen F. Austin State University opened its doors
  to 158 students on September 18, 1923; its alumni association was
  organized just five years later and has worked diligently through
  the years to support the school, which now has an enrollment of
  nearly 13,000 students; SFA boasts an exceptionally scenic campus
  and also operates a beef and poultry farm, a dairy farm, an
  experimental forest, and a forestry field station; its observatory
  is the second largest not only in Texas but also in the Central Time
  Zone; and
         WHEREAS, Beautifully situated in the Texas Forest Country,
  Nacogdoches is attracting active retired Texans; it was one of the
  first three communities in Texas recognized as a Go Texan certified
  retirement community because of its cultural and sporting events,
  health care, safety, and continuing education opportunities; and
         WHEREAS, The combination of numerous amenities and a
  neighborly atmosphere makes Nacogdoches a splendid place to live,
  work, and study, and it is a pleasure to welcome those representing
  the many facets of this vibrant part of the Lone Star State; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 16 and 17, 2011, as
  Nacogdoches-SFA Days at the State Capitol and extend to the
  visiting delegation best wishes for a memorable stay in Austin;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
  for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of
  Representatives.
