R E S O L U T I O N
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Many proud residents of Mansfield are visiting |
|
Austin on February 15, 2017, to celebrate the distinctive |
|
attributes and achievements of their community during Mansfield Day |
|
at the State Capitol; and |
|
WHEREAS, Located in the Cross Timber country of North Central |
|
Texas, south of Arlington, the settlement was first established by |
|
pioneers in the 1840s; in the late 1850s, R. S. Man and Julian Feild |
|
built a gristmill in the area, at the crossroads that later became |
|
the center of the town, which was named for the two men; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Feild soon added a general store across the |
|
street from the mill and became the town's postmaster in 1860; |
|
during the Civil War, the Man and Feild mill supplied meal and flour |
|
to fighting soldiers, and it later did the same for those at United |
|
States Army outposts and Indian reservations in Texas and New |
|
Mexico; though incorporated in 1909, the town remained a farming |
|
community until the suburban expansion of the Dallas/Fort Worth |
|
area brought many new residents; and |
|
WHEREAS, Today, the city's more than 64,000 residents can |
|
enjoy 240 acres of parks and a quality of life reflected in the |
|
town's inclusion on Money magazine's 2012 list of the top places to |
|
live in the United States; and |
|
WHEREAS, Celebrating their heritage as they embrace the |
|
opportunities of the future, the citizens of Mansfield are |
|
justifiably proud of their community, and it is indeed fitting to |
|
honor them and their unique contributions to the story of the Lone |
|
Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 15, 2017, as Mansfield Day at |
|
the State Capitol and extend to members of the visiting delegation |
|
sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and memorable event. |
