The resolution recognizes March 18, 2025, as Navarro County Day at the Texas State Capitol, celebrating the rich history and contributions of Navarro County. Established in 1846 and named after Jos Antonio Navarro, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, the county's development was significantly influenced by the arrival of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1871, which transformed it into a trading and shipping hub. The discovery of oil in the area led to Texas's first oil boom, establishing Navarro County as a key player in the state's economic landscape, with over 200 million barrels of oil extracted and the longest continuous oil flow in Texas history.
Today, Navarro County's economy is supported by petroleum, diversified manufacturing, and agriculture, with a variety of crops and livestock being produced. The community also benefits from educational institutions like Navarro College and recreational opportunities at local lakes and reservoirs. The resolution highlights the pride residents take in their unique heritage and ongoing efforts to build a prosperous future, while also welcoming the visiting delegation to the Capitol for the celebration.
