Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Situated in the Winter Garden region of South Texas, |
|
|
Zavala County covers nearly 1,300 square miles of fertile plains |
|
|
and wild brushland and is bisected by the Nueces River; the county |
|
|
was created by the First Legislature of Texas in 1846 and named for |
|

Lorenzo de Zavala, a Mexican colonist and signer of the Texas |
|
|
Declaration of Independence; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The economy is supported by livestock and grain, |
|

fruit, and vegetable farming; hunting and fishing opportunities |
|
|
abound, and notable communities include the county seat, Crystal |
|
|
City, and La Pryor and Batesville; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Crystal City was laid out in 1905 and named for the |
|
|
clear waters of a nearby artesian well; by 1908, the town had a post |
|
|
office, a school, and a stop on the Uvalde Railway, and in 1928, it |
|
|
was named the county seat; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The city is a hub for farming, ranching, and food |
|
|
processing, with the Del Monte Corporation cannery contributing to |
|
|
the economy of the region; self-styled as the Spinach Capital of the |
|
|
World, the city holds a Spinach Festival that draws tens of |
|
|
thousands of visitors every November with such activities as a |
|
|
cook-off, a carnival and parade, and musical performances; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich and colorful history as they |
|
|
work together to build a bright future, the citizens of Zavala |
|
|
County may take justifiable pride in the important role their |
|
|
unique region continues to play in the story of the Lone Star State; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |

|
Legislature hereby recognize April 7, 2015, as Zavala County Day at |
