Senate Resolution No. 246 recognizes March 18, 2025, as Corsicana/Navarro County Day at the State Capitol, celebrating the historical and cultural significance of Navarro County and its residents. Established in 1846 and named after Jos Antonio Navarro, the county's development was significantly influenced by the establishment of Corsicana as a trading center following the arrival of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. The discovery of oil in 1894 marked the beginning of Texas's first oil boom, which transformed the local economy and led to the extraction of over 200 million barrels of oil, establishing Navarro County as a key player in the state's energy sector.
Today, Navarro County's economy is supported by petroleum, manufacturing, and agriculture, with a diverse range of crops and livestock contributing to its prosperity. Corsicana serves as the cultural hub of the region, offering educational opportunities through Navarro College and housing notable businesses such as the Russell Stover candy factory and the renowned Collin Street Bakery. The community also boasts recreational outlets and historical attractions, including the Pearce Museum and Pioneer Village. The resolution highlights the pride of Navarro County residents in their rich heritage and contributions to Texas's cultural landscape.
