SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 953
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the City of Dalworthington Gardens on the occasion of |
|
its 75th anniversary, which is being celebrated with the |
|
dedication of a Texas Historical Marker on June 12, 2011; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The City of Dalworthington Gardens can trace its |
|
history to the New Deal programs of President Franklin D. |
|
Roosevelt; it was originally begun as part of a subsistence |
|
homestead program under the National Industrial Recovery Act; in |
|
1936, it was incorporated into its management division, the |
|
Dalworthington Homestead Association, which signed a management |
|
contract with the Resettlement Administration that same year; |
|
residents voted to incorporate as a town in 1949, and the town |
|
became a city in 1968; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, the City of Dalworthington Gardens is the |
|
only remaining subsistence homestead project that continues to |
|
exist as an autonomous community in this state; it maintains its |
|
rural atmosphere as an oasis of small-town life in the midst of |
|
the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The citizens of Dalworthington Gardens look |
|
eagerly to the promise of the future while continuing to |
|
celebrate their colorful past; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of the City of |
|
Dalworthington Gardens on their many contributions to the rich |
|
history and culture of our state and extend to them best wishes |
|
for a memorable 75th anniversary celebration; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the city as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
