H.R. No. 546

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Citizens from Denton County are gathering in Austin
	on February 24, 2015, to celebrate Denton County Day at the State
	Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Located in North Texas, Denton County was created by
	the Texas Legislature in 1846 and named for pioneer preacher,
	lawyer, and soldier John Bunyan Denton; the early years of the
	county saw its emergence as an agricultural center, and the arrival
	of the railroads in the 1880s ensured that the area's wheat and
	cotton would find distribution across the country; and
	WHEREAS, The county has witnessed remarkable growth in recent
	years, as its population tripled over the past two decades, and in
	2013, Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class,
	designated Denton County as the number 6 "high-tech hot spot" in the
	nation; and
	WHEREAS, Denton is home to the University of North Texas and
	Texas Woman's University, which were founded as Texas Normal
	College and Girls' Industrial College in 1890 and 1903,
	respectively, as well as a campus of North Central Texas College,
	and the alumni of these schools have gone on to make their mark on
	the history of Texas and the nation; and
	WHEREAS, Further attractions in the area include the beauty
	of the North Texas Greenbelt, the architecture of the Denton County
	Courthouse-on-the-Square, the majesty of the North Texas Horse
	Country, and the action of the Texas Motor Speedway; and
	WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich history even as they work to
	build a bright future, the citizens of Denton County are
	justifiably proud of their community, and it is most fitting to take
	this opportunity to honor their contribution to the story of the
	Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 24, 2015, as Denton County
	Day at the State Capitol and extend best wishes to the members of
	the visiting delegation for an enjoyable and memorable stay in
	Austin.
