SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 341
         WHEREAS, Proud residents of the City of Buda are gathering
  in Austin on March 22, 2023, to celebrate Buda Day at the State
  Capitol with representatives from the City of Buda, the Buda
  Economic Development Corporation, the Buda Chamber of Commerce,
  and other community businesses and organizations; and
         WHEREAS, Established in 1881 along the route of the
  International-Great Northern Railroad, the town of Buda was
  initially known as Du Pre before being renamed at the request of
  postal officials seven years later; one possible source of the
  town's new name is thought to be the Spanish word viuda, meaning
  widow, in reference to the widows who served as cooks at the local
  Carrington Hotel in the 1880s; and
         WHEREAS, Buda's early economy centered on supplies and
  services provided to the nearby ranches and dairy farms, and
  owners of local businesses joined to form a chamber of commerce
  in 1928; Buda was incorporated two decades later, and in 1967,
  the town became a part of the Hays Consolidated Independent
  School District; Buda's population began to grow in earnest in
  the 1980s, and today the city is home to more than 17,000
  residents; and
         WHEREAS, Buda's natural beauty at the edge of the Texas
  Hill Country and the community's dedication to preserving the
  area's natural spaces helped Buda to earn its official
  designation as the Outdoor Capital of Texas; and
         WHEREAS, Buda invites residents and visitors alike to
  "Breathe Easy," and all are welcomed to enjoy the natural beauty
  of Onion Creek and Buda's pristine parklands, the charming
  historic Main Street district, and a variety of community events,
  including the Downtown Buda Farmer's Market, many local holiday
  celebrations, and the annual Buda Country Fair and Wiener Dog
  Races; and
         WHEREAS, The citizens of Buda are building on an impressive
  tradition of achievement and public spirit, and they may indeed
  take great pride in their contributions to the story of the Lone
  Star State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby recognize March 22, 2023, as Buda Day at the
  State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere best
  wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
  honor of this special occasion.
