H.R. No. 133
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Proud residents of Kleberg County are gathering in
  Austin on January 31, 2017, to celebrate Kleberg County Day at the
  State Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Situated both on the broad grasslands of the Gulf
  Coast and on Padre Island, the area that was to become Kleberg
  County was first inhabited by the Karankawa and Coahuiltecan
  peoples; Spanish settlements were established along the lower Rio
  Grande in the 18th century, and after a period of Mexican rule, the
  land became part of Nueces County when Texas secured its
  independence; in 1853, Richard King established the vast King
  Ranch, a large tract of which was used to form the city of
  Kingsville in 1904; the new community grew quickly as a railway hub
  for farmers and ranchers, and in 1913, the Texas Legislature
  organized Kleberg County, naming it for Robert Justus Kleberg,
  whose son was the manager of King Ranch, and designating Kingsville
  as the county seat; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Kleberg County is a place of diversified
  industries; successful businesses include Proco, Inc., and Texas
  Cementing Services, and largely because of the presence of numerous
  energy companies, the area's economy has continued to grow,
  resulting in new jobs and an improved quality of life for residents;
  occupying 825,000 acres, the legendary King Ranch is still vital to
  the prosperity of the county, and the enterprise has earned fame for
  the region through its development of the Santa Gertrudis breed of
  cattle, its contributions to quarter horse and thoroughbred
  breeding, and its accomplishments in a variety of other
  agribusiness interests; and
         WHEREAS, The largest city in Kleberg County, Kingsville is
  home to Texas A&M University--Kingsville, which includes the Frank
  H. Dotterweich College of Engineering, the Dick and Mary Lewis
  Kleberg College of Agriculture, the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife
  Research Institute, and the Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy;
  moreover, Naval Air Station Kingsville is the leading undergraduate
  pilot training facility in the United States, preparing U.S. Navy
  and Marine Corps pilots for their key role in the nation's defense;
  and
         WHEREAS, The hardworking and forward-looking citizens of
  Kleberg County are building on a long tradition of excellence, and
  their history and achievements are indeed deserving of special
  recognition; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize January 31, 2017, as Kleberg County
  Day at the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation
  sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin.
