Did you know that HCR was established in 1977 when it split from the Longhorn Region? Lone Star, Maverick, and Longhorn Regions all contributed territory to create HCR, and no, it was not a hostile takeover – thank goodness for that! And I bet the 26 founding members never imagined we would exceed 2,200 members today. Way to go, us!
