	H.R. No. 1072



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Proud residents of Cedar Park are celebrating the
	50th anniversary of their city's incorporation on February 24,
	2023, with the Friday Night Fever Family Dance; and
	WHEREAS, Located in southwestern Williamson County, Cedar
	Park was originally called Running Brushy for a heavy-flowing
	spring in the area; the city's roots date back to 1871, when George
	and Harriet Cluck led a cattle drive up the Chisolm Trail; two years
	later, the Clucks bought the land that included Running Brushy
	Spring, and their ranch quickly became the center of a growing
	community; a post office was authorized for the settlement in
	February 1874, and when the Austin and Northwestern Railroad came
	through in 1882, the town's name was changed to Brueggerhoff in
	honor of a railroad official; Emmett Cluck, the son of George and
	Harriet Cluck, gave the community its current name of Cedar Park in
	1887, and shortly thereafter, a school, a church building, and a
	landscaped park were established in the area; and
	WHEREAS, From the 1890s to around 1970, Cedar Park benefited
	from the production of limestone and cedar fence posts; due to the
	proximity of the nearby city of Austin, the town's population
	increased from 125 people to more than 3,000 between 1970 and 1980;
	on February 24, 1973, the citizens of Cedar Park voted to officially
	incorporate, and in the years since, the city has experienced rapid
	commercial and residential growth; and
	WHEREAS, Today, Cedar Park is a vibrant and prosperous
	community of over 77,000 citizens, and it benefits from the
	leadership of Mayor Jim Penniman-Morin and the city council;
	residents are able to enjoy its close proximity to the Capital City,
	its acres of beautiful parkland, and its many other attractions,
	including the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, which is home to two
	professional sports teams and hosts more than 130 events a year; and
	WHEREAS, The citizens of Cedar Park may indeed take great
	pride in their rich heritage as they come together to celebrate this
	significant milestone in their history; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
	Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the City of
	Cedar Park and extend to its residents sincere best wishes for the
	future.

	Bucy
