SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 399
         WHEREAS, Proud residents of New Fairview are recognizing
  the 50th anniversary of the incorporation of their city with a
  celebration on May 20, 2023; and
         WHEREAS, Located in Wise County as part of the Dallas-Fort
  Worth Metroplex, New Fairview was originally referred to as
  Illinois Settlement as many of its early residents had moved to
  the area from that state; in the 1880s, land was donated for a
  cemetery, church, and one-room school, and by the early 1900s,
  the city had become known as Fairview, alluding to the "fair view
  of the prairie" afforded by surrounding hilltops; many of the
  town's streets are named for early settlers; and
         WHEREAS, Fairview was officially incorporated on May 21,
  1973, and in 1999, the community was renamed New Fairview to
  distinguish it from other Texas towns of the same name; two
  decades later, the city became a Type A general law municipality,
  and in 2020, it took on a council/manager form of government in
  which the city administrator is the chief administrative
  officer; and
         WHEREAS, Ranked as one of the region's fastest growing
  cities by the North Central Texas Council of Governments, New
  Fairview today is home to more than 2,000 residents; it is served
  by the Northwest and Decatur Independent School Districts, and
  Mayor John Taylor and the city council play a vital role in
  guiding residential and commercial growth while helping to
  preserve the community's rural small-town charm; and
         WHEREAS, The citizens of New Fairview may indeed take great
  pride in their city's rich heritage as they come together to
  celebrate this significant milestone; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
  incorporation of the City of New Fairview and extend to its
  citizens sincere best wishes for the future.
