WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to |
|
join the citizens of Kinney County and Texans across the state in |
|
celebrating Kinney County Day; and |
|
WHEREAS, Located west of San Antonio in the Rio Grande Plains |
|
region, Kinney County was formed by an Act of the Texas Legislature |
|
in 1850 and is named for early settler and adventurer Henry Lawrence |
|
Kinney; and |
|
WHEREAS, The United States Army established Fort Riley, later |
|
called Fort Clark, along Las Moras Creek in 1852, and the community |
|
of Brackett, named for local merchant Oscar B. Brackett, was begun |
|
that same year; now called Brackettville, it is the county's seat |
|
and largest city; and |
|
WHEREAS, Through the years, cattle ranching has dominated the |
|
county's economy, with wool and mohair production playing an |
|
important part in the nation's war effort during World War II; |
|
tourists are drawn to the area by such attractions as Kickapoo |
|
Cavern State Park, Alamo Village, Las Moras Park, and Fort Clark; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, The citizens of Kinney County are confidently facing |
|
the future while continuing to embrace their rich and colorful |
|
past; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Texas House of Representatives, 83rd |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the people of Kinney County on their |
|
many contributions to our state's growth and prosperity and extend |
|
to them best wishes for a memorable Kinney County Day; and, be it |
|
further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared in honor |
|
of this special day. |
