          SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 321          WHEREAS, Proud residents of Montague County are gathering   in Austin on March 26, 2025, in celebration of Montague County   Day at the State Capitol; and          WHEREAS, Situated on the Red River in the Western Cross   Timbers of North Central Texas, this region was originally   inhabited by the Comanche, Wichita, and Kiowa Indians; in 1858,   the county was organized from portions of Cooke County and named   for Daniel Montague, surveyor of the Fannin Land District and   veteran of the Mexican War; when federal troops withdrew from the   area during the Civil War, Indian raids caused the population to   decline until the 1870s, when an organized effort was made to   drive native tribes from the county; by the early 1880s, the   population had grown to 11,000 people; and          WHEREAS, An abundance of grasslands attracted cattlemen to   the region in the 1860s, and the emergence of large cattle   ranches subsequently brought railroads to the county; by 1892, it   was home to three rail systems that contributed to the area's   growth and development as a center for agribusiness; in the early   years, the county's economy was dominated by cattle ranching and   cotton production, and in the 20th century, it expanded to   incorporate other crops, as well as oil and gas production; and          WHEREAS, Today, Montague County is home to more than 20,000   people, and its economy benefits from the retail, health care,   and educational services industries; notable communities include   the county seat of Montague, as well as Saint Jo, Bowie, and   Nocona, where the Nocona Boot Company was established in 1887;   residents and visitors alike benefit from the recreational   opportunities afforded by Lake Nocona and Amon G. Carter Lake,   and outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to the area for activities such   as boating, fishing, and hunting; it also hosts a number of   annual events, among them the Chisholm Trail Rodeo, the Jim Bowie   Days Rodeo, and the Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival; and          WHEREAS, The people of Montague 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 89th   Legislature, hereby recognize March 26, 2025, as Montague County   Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting   delegation.     Hagenbuch                 ________________________________          President of the Senate               I hereby certify that the     above Resolution was adopted by     the Senate on March 26, 2025.                 ________________________________          Secretary of the Senate                 ________________________________           Member, Texas Senate
