WHEREAS, Proud residents of Sachse are gathering in Austin on |
|
February 22, 2017, to celebrate Sachse Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
WHEREAS, Situated in far northeastern Dallas County and |
|
southern Collin County, the settlement was formed in 1886, when |
|
William C. Sachse donated land to the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe |
|
Railway; the town received a post office that same year, registered |
|
under the name Saxie, which was changed to Sachse in 1892; and |
|
WHEREAS, The first Sachse school was constructed in the early |
|
1900s, and the building doubled as the city hall and church; |
|
economic development continued and the population grew steadily |
|
after 1940, and Sachse's historic schools joined the Garland |
|
Independent School District in a partnership that continues to |
|
provide young Texans with quality educational opportunities; and |
|
WHEREAS, By the 1980s, Sachse had developed into a suburb of |
|
Garland, and residents today enjoy the numerous amenities offered |
|
by the nearby city, including the Firewheel Town Center; moreover, |
|
because of its proximity to the President George Bush Turnpike, |
|
Sachse has remained an important transportation and business |
|
center; and |
|
WHEREAS, Honoring their heritage as they work to build an |
|
even brighter future, the citizens of Sachse may take great pride in |
|
the enduring role their community has played in the story of the |
|
Lone Star State, and they are indeed deserving of special |
|
recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 22, 2017, as Sachse Day at |
|
the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere |
|
best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin. |
