                       RECOGNIZING CASWELL COUNTY

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TED BUDD

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 2022

  Mr. BUDD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Caswell County 
for celebrating its 245th anniversary.
  Caswell County has a rich history, and a celebration of the county is 
a celebration of the people who made the region home. Established on 
June 1, 1777, during the Revolutionary War, the county was named in 
honor of Richard Caswell, one of North Carolina's delegates to the 
Continental Congress and the state's first non-colonial governor. 
Throughout the years, Caswell County has left an indelible mark on the 
trajectory of the Old North State. It was the birthplace of many 
distinguished North Carolinians such as our ``Father of Education'' 
Archibald Murphy, and it was the home of acclaimed furnituremaker 
Thomas Day. The county's farmers developed the land into an 
agricultural powerhouse for over two centuries, and they gained 
international renown for discovering the region's distinct ``bright 
leaf'' flue-cured tobacco. Caswell County is fortunate to continue to 
have residents and community leaders who are proactively engaged on the 
top issues facing the county and are always looking to improve the 
quality of life for its citizens.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating the people of Caswell 
County for celebrating this momentous anniversary. It is my sincere 
hope that the county will continue to prosper over the next two 
centuries and beyond.
