R E S O L U T I O N
|
|
WHEREAS, Residents of Live Oak County are gathering in Austin |
|
on April 15, 2013, to share their justifiable pride in their unique |
|
part of the Lone Star State; and |
|
WHEREAS, In the years before the land became part of Texas, |
|
the area now known as Live Oak County was home to Native American |
|
tribes, Spanish and Mexican colonists, and Irish immigrants, and |
|
this rich cultural diversity has greatly influenced the development |
|
of the area; and |
|
WHEREAS, The county was created on February 2, 1856, from San |
|
Patricio and Nueces Counties and was named after the imposing and |
|
majestic live oaks that grew throughout much of the region; and |
|
WHEREAS, The rugged beauty of Live Oak County's brushy plains |
|
is complemented by the Frio, Nueces, and Atascosa Rivers, and |
|
admirers of the Texas landscape are drawn to such attractions as |
|
Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon State Park; and |
|
WHEREAS, Area revenue originally came from sheep, cattle, and |
|
cotton, but later was diversified by the discovery of oil and |
|
natural gas in the county in the 1930s and by the discovery of |
|
uranium in the 1960s; and |
|
WHEREAS, In addition to George West, the county seat, the |
|
communities located in Live Oak County include Three Rivers, |
|
Dinero, Lagarto, Oakville, Pernitas Point, and Whitsett, and |
|
residents of these towns join in honoring their distinctive part of |
|
Texas; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 15, 2013, as Live Oak County Day |
|
at the State Capitol and extend best wishes to the visiting |
|
delegation for an informative and enjoyable stay in Austin; and, be |
|
it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the county as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
