City of Columbus receives Governor’s Proclamation
COLUMBUS – The Columbus Chamber of Commerce received a proclamation from Governor Greg Abbott in recognition of Columbus’ upcoming Bicentennial Celebration, which marks 200 years of the city’s existence. The proclamation reads in part: “A town as old as Texas herself, Columbus has had a frontrow seat to an entire history. Two hundred years ago, settlers took up the ‘Gone to Texas’ banner and build a community that would stand the test of time … From General Houston’s base camp in the Revolution to the legendary cattle drives of a bygone saga, the town has witness many iconic moments and has epitomized both the noble pioneering spirit and the fierce independence that have come to define our people…The same values and valor that enabled Columbus to thrive in the age of westward expansion have indeed survived well into the new millennium … As you reflect upon your proud past and look toward and even brighter tomorrow, I hope that you will rededicate yourselves to the values and traditions that built your city ...” 01/25/2023 12:00 AM
