  H.R. No. 1596
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Proud citizens of San Augustine County are gathering
  in Austin to celebrate San Augustine County Day at the State Capitol
  on April 25, 2013; and
         WHEREAS, This hilly landscape of pine forest and bayous was
  visited by French and Spanish explorers in the 17th and 18th
  centuries, and Anglo settlers began arriving in the early 1800s;
  the town of San Augustine was established in 1834, and two years
  later, the town was the site of Sam Houston's election as commander
  of the Texian forces during the Texas Revolution; and
         WHEREAS, San Augustine County was established in 1837, one of
  the first to be formed in the Texas republic, and the county seat of
  San Augustine became an important commercial and cultural center,
  with new businesses, a newspaper, and three institutions of higher
  learning, including the first university in Texas; and
         WHEREAS, Over the years, agriculture has formed the primary
  basis of the county's economy, with the chief products being corn,
  hogs, poultry, sugar cane, cotton, and lumber; since the 1960s,
  tourism has also become important as residents and visitors alike
  take advantage of the opportunities for recreation afforded by Lake
  Sam Rayburn and the county's two extensive national forests; and
         WHEREAS, The town of San Augustine has been home to two Texas
  governors, J. Pinckney Henderson and O. M. Roberts, as well as two
  speakers of the Texas House of Representatives, two lieutenant
  governors, and three ambassadors to foreign countries; the city is
  also known for its handsome historic houses in the Greek Revival and
  Victorian styles, as well as for being the site of several of the
  first Protestant churches organized in Texas after the Texas
  Revolution; established as a station on the St. Louis Southwestern
  Railway, the town of Broaddus was originally a hub of the lumber
  industry and today is a tourist center, serving visitors to Lake Sam
  Rayburn and Angelina National Forest; and
         WHEREAS, Dedicated to preserving the best of their past, the
  people of San Augustine County may indeed take great pride in the
  significant role their county has played in the history and culture
  of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 25, 2013, as San Augustine
  County Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting
  delegation sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable visit
  to Austin.
