SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 381
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join |
|
the citizens of Hewitt and Texans across the state in celebrating |
|
March 5, 2013, as Hewitt Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The City of Hewitt can trace its roots to a |
|
community established in 1882 as a station along the Missouri, |
|
Kansas, and Texas Railroad; the township surrounding the station |
|
was later purchased by businessman John A. Warren, who named it |
|
after railroad executive George A. Hewitt; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Situated on the rich Blackland Prairie, Hewitt |
|
for many years served as the hub of a thriving farming community |
|
that produced corn, cattle, and cotton, which was shipped to |
|
market by wagon or rail; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hewitt was incorporated in 1960 and soon became one |
|
of the fastest-growing towns in the area; known for its abundance |
|
of economic opportunity, its outstanding schools, and its real |
|
sense of community, it was named by Money magazine in 2007 as one of |
|
the top 100 places to live in the United States; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, Hewitt continues to grow and thrive as an |
|
exceptional place in which to live, work, and raise a family; its |
|
people can take great pride in its history and progress as they |
|
celebrate its bright future; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of Hewitt on their many |
|
contributions to the legacy of McLennan County and our state and |
|
extend to them best wishes for a memorable Hewitt Day at the State |
|
Capitol; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
them as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
