SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 372
|
|
WHEREAS, Representatives of the City of Castroville are |
|
gathering in Austin on April 4, 2023, to celebrate Castroville |
|
Legislative Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
WHEREAS, Castroville is located along U.S. Highway 90, |
|
just 20 minutes west of San Antonio; the city was established by a |
|
group of mainly Alsatian immigrants led by the empresario Henri |
|
Castro in 1844, and the prominent role the immigrants played in |
|
building the community went on to lend it the moniker the "Little |
|
Alsace of Texas"; it served as the county seat of Medina County |
|
until 1893; and |
|
WHEREAS, Today, Castroville is home to around 3,000 |
|
residents who enjoy its small-town atmosphere and historic |
|
character, along with the benefits of living in close proximity |
|
to San Antonio; the City of Castroville is a proud partner of the |
|
Medina Valley Independent School District and its public |
|
education system, which was awarded an "A," the state's highest |
|
accountability rating; the community continues to celebrate its |
|
heritage with the Alsatian Festival of Texas, in addition to |
|
hosting other highly anticipated events such as the Tour de |
|
Castroville, the Old-Fashioned 4th of July Weekend, and |
|
Old-Fashioned Christmas; and |
|
WHEREAS, The citizens of Castroville are honoring their rich |
|
history as they embrace the opportunities of the future, and they |
|
may indeed take pride in the unique contributions their city has |
|
made 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 April 4, 2023, as Castroville |
|
Legislative Day at the State Capitol and extend sincere |
|
congratulations to the mayor, city council, city administrator, |
|
and citizens of Castroville who have been instrumental to the |
|
growth and success of this fine community. |
