This resolution recognizes March 6, 2025, as Floresville Day at the State Capitol, celebrating the rich history and achievements of Floresville, a small city located 30 miles southeast of San Antonio in Wilson County, Texas. The resolution highlights the city's historical origins, founded in 1867 and named after Don Francisco Flores de Abrego, and its economic development through agriculture, particularly its prominence as the "Peanut Capital of Texas." The document emphasizes Floresville's transformation from a Spanish settler area to a vibrant community of approximately 8,300 residents, known for its agricultural contributions, annual Peanut Festival, and proximity to San Antonio. By officially designating this day, the Texas House of Representatives aims to honor the city's hardworking citizens, acknowledge its historical significance, and extend a warm welcome to the Floresville delegation visiting the State Capitol on that date.
