H.R. No. 952
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Jacinto City are observing the
  75th anniversary of the incorporation of their community on May 10,
  2021; and
         WHEREAS, The prairie around Jacinto City was originally
  sparsely populated ranchland, but during World War II, steel mills,
  oil refineries, and chemical plants sprang up along the nearby
  Houston ship channel, and in 1941, developer Frank Sharp built a
  small subdivision to provide houses for those seeking jobs at the
  new industries; and
         WHEREAS, In 1946, a group of local residents came together to
  form a government, and they called their new town Jacinto City after
  the nearby monument to the Battle of San Jacinto; that same year,
  the city acquired a water and sewer system from the federal
  government; the first mayor, Inch Chandler, opened a grocery store,
  and during the 1950s a city hall and recreation facilities were
  constructed; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Jacinto City is home to more than 10,700
  residents who can boast of an efficient police department, a
  well-trained volunteer fire department, and a crime rate and tax
  rate that are lower than nearby communities; about 100 small
  businesses are located in the city, as are two banks and the
  Longhorn Glass Corporation, which manufactures millions of bottles
  a year for the local Anheuser-Busch facility; and
         WHEREAS, The people of Jacinto City enjoy the blessings of
  small town life while also benefiting from the amenities of the
  greater Houston area, and they may indeed take great pride in their
  unique part in the story of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be
  it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the 75th anniversary of the
  incorporation of Jacinto City and extend to its citizens sincere
  best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Jacinto City as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
