H.R. No. 1231
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Proud residents of Wilson County are gathering in
  Austin on April 25, 2023, to celebrate Wilson County Day at the
  State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Situated on the upper coastal plain of South Texas,
  Wilson County was initially inhabited by Native Americans of the
  Coahuiltecan linguistic family; Spanish explorers traveled through
  the area in the early 18th century, and permanent settlement began
  some time before 1830; the first Anglo settlers arrived in the late
  1840s, and in the following decades, the region attracted a number
  of planters from the southern states as well as German and Polish
  immigrants from other Texas counties; and
         WHEREAS, Wilson County was officially established on
  February 13, 1860, and the town of Sutherland Springs was
  designated as its first county seat; named for James C. Wilson, a
  legislator and member of the Somervell expedition, the county
  encompasses sections that were originally part of Bexar and Karnes
  Counties; the county seat alternated between Sutherland Springs and
  Lodi before a November 1873 election named Floresville as the new
  county seat, a decision that is still in effect today; the county's
  other communities include Poth, Stockdale, La Vernia, and Pandora;
  and
         WHEREAS, A significant portion of Wilson County is considered
  prime farmland, and the area serves as an important source of
  peanuts, hay, sorghum, oats, wheat, corn, watermelons, peaches, and
  pecans; the county has also benefited from the ranching industry,
  and cattle, dairy, hogs, and poultry have long been major
  agricultural products in the region; and
         WHEREAS, The people of Wilson County take great pride in
  their rich history as they work together to build an even brighter
  future, and it is indeed fitting to honor them for their unique
  contributions to the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 25, 2023, as Wilson County Day
  at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting
  delegation.
