SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 132

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join the citizens of Hutto in celebrating March 23, 2011, as Hutto Day at the State Capitol; and

WHEREAS, One of the fastest-growing cities in the state, Hutto traces its roots to a village first established in 1855 by Swedish settler J. E. Hutto and freed slave Adam Orgain; after more than a half century of growth, Hutto was incorporated in 1911, and in 2011 the city is celebrating the centennial anniversary of its incorporation; and

WHEREAS, Situated on the rich black farmland of southeastern Williamson County, Hutto is blessed with small-town charm along with easy access to all the amenities of big-city living; it offers an exceptional school district, a growing park system, expanding retail opportunities, and a dynamic, educated workforce; and

WHEREAS, Hutto's past and present are steeped in the themes that drove the history of our state; from its agrarian roots in raising cotton to the arrival of the railroad to the rise of high-tech manufacturing, Hutto represents all the best that our state has to offer; and

WHEREAS, It is truly fitting that Hutto be recognized for its important role in our state's history as its citizens celebrate the 100th anniversary of its incorporation and observe Hutto Day at the State Capitol; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Hutto on their city's many contributions to the rich history of our state and extend to them best wishes for a memorable Hutto Day at the State Capitol; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in honor of this special occasion.

Ogden
