Rains County—
Eagle Capital of Texas
The 74th Legislature of the State of Texas passed a resolution declaring Rains County “The Eagle Capital of Texas” as an effort to protect and preserve the American Bald Eagle. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on May 24, 1995 and by the House on May 29, 1995. It was signed by the Honorable George W. Bush, Governor of the Great State of Texas, on June 16, 1995 thus officially proclaiming Rains County as the “Eagle Capital of Texas”.
