The resolution highlights the rich history of the region, which has been inhabited since prehistoric times and has seen the influence of various cultures, including the Jumano and Mescalero Apache peoples, as well as Anglo settlers drawn by agricultural opportunities in the late 19th century. The establishment of Reeves County in 1884 and the growth of its population to nearly 12,000 today, with Pecos as its county seat, are also noted.
The resolution emphasizes the economic contributions of the region, particularly in ranching, agriculture, construction, and oil and gas production, facilitated by a collaborative advisory committee focused on workforce and economic development. Additionally, it mentions local attractions such as Balmorhea State Park and the West of the Pecos Museum, as well as the historic West of the Pecos Rodeo. The Senate expresses its best wishes to the visiting delegation, acknowledging the hard work and achievements of the citizens of Pecos and Reeves County.
