|
|
WHEREAS, Mansfield residents have much to be proud of as they |
|
gather at the State Capitol on February 17, 2009, to celebrate the |
|
history and progress of their thriving community; and |
|
WHEREAS, Located in southeastern Tarrant County and |
|
northeastern Johnson County, Mansfield was settled following the |
|
establishment of a steam-powered gristmill in 1857; named for the |
|
mill's proprietors, Ralph Man and Julian Feild, the town became a |
|
hub of flour and meal production during the Civil War; in 1870, the |
|
Mansfield Male and Female College was founded and became one of the |
|
state's most respected educational institutions before its closing |
|
more than 15 years later; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mansfield saw rapid growth in the latter half of the |
|
20th century, transforming it from a rural community into a modern |
|
suburb; home to major employers including Mouser Electronics, |
|
Methodist Mansfield Medical Center, and Simeus Foods |
|
International, the city continues to attract new residents with its |
|
vibrant economy and abundant residential development; Mansfield |
|
I.S.D., one of the fastest growing school districts in the state, is |
|
expected to add six new campuses by 2011; and |
|
WHEREAS, A prosperous and vital Metroplex suburb, Mansfield |
|
is beloved for its small-town quality of life that makes it a |
|
welcome place to raise a family, seek opportunity, and engage in |
|
civic affairs; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 17, 2009, as Mansfield Day at |
|
the Capitol and extend sincere best wishes to all those in |
|
attendance for an enjoyable visit to Austin. |
