The resolution recognizes March 4 and 5, 2025, as Hunt County Days at the Texas State Capitol, honoring the residents of Hunt County and the Greenville Chamber of Commerce who will be visiting Austin for the celebration. Established in 1846, Hunt County has a rich history, initially settled by Anglo Americans and named after Memucan Hunt Jr., a notable figure in Texas history. The county has evolved from an agriculture-based economy to one that includes significant manufacturing, and it is home to over 113,000 residents, with Greenville and Commerce as its largest cities. The area is also known for its educational institutions, historical attractions, and annual events that reflect the community's vibrant culture.
The resolution highlights the leadership of local officials, including County Judge Bobby W. Stovall and the Hunt County Commissioners Court, as well as the efforts of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, led by president and CEO Shelley Corrales. The Chamber has contributed to the community's economic growth through various initiatives aimed at fostering a positive business environment. The resolution pays tribute to the hard work of Hunt County residents in preserving their history while looking forward to future opportunities, making it fitting to celebrate their contributions to Texas.
