SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 205
         WHEREAS, Esteemed residents of Pleasanton are gathering at
  the State Capitol on March 4, 2025, to celebrate the city's rich
  heritage and promising future; and
         WHEREAS, Nestled in Atascosa County along the Atascosa
  River and Bonita Creek, Pleasanton was established in 1858 as the
  county seat, bearing the name of early settler John Pleasant;
  although the county seat was moved to Jourdanton in 1910,
  Pleasanton continued to flourish and became a vital hub for
  cattle drivers journeying to Kansas, which gave rise to its
  nickname as the "Birthplace of the Cowboy"; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Pleasanton is home to more than 11,000
  residents; the community, which is affectionately referred to as
  "The City of Live Oaks and Friendly Folks," continues to maintain
  its small-town charm while enjoying easy access to the amenities
  of the San Antonio metropolitan area; the city's vibrant culture
  is showcased through its cherished annual celebrations,
  including Cowboy Heritage Days, Merry on Main, and a spirited
  Fourth of July festival; and
         WHEREAS, Although farming and ranching continue to play an
  important role in the local economy, Pleasanton has diversified
  into industries such as oil and gas, retail, and health care, and
  it is a key destination for shopping and business in Atascosa
  County; the Pleasanton Independent School District serves local
  students from primary through high school, and area residents
  further benefit from the educational and workforce-training
  opportunities offered by Coastal Bend College; and
         WHEREAS, The citizens of Pleasanton are dedicated to
  preserving their community's storied past while embracing the
  opportunities of the future, and it is indeed fitting to honor
  them for the unique contributions they have made to the Lone Star
  State; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
  Legislature, hereby recognize March 4, 2025, as Pleasanton Day
  at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to all those
  visiting on this special occasion.
