  H.R. No. 1762
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Citizens of North Richland Hills are celebrating the
  70th anniversary of their city's founding in 2023; and
         WHEREAS, Located in present-day Tarrant County, the North
  Richland Hills area was first settled in the 1840s, and it remained
  a rural farming and ranching community for more than a century; in
  1952, a resident named Clarence Jones began to subdivide his
  268-acre dairy farm into a suburban neighborhood; the new
  homeowners in the area formed the North Richland Hills Civic League
  and initially intended to join the neighboring city of Richland
  Hills; instead, the residents elected to establish their own
  community on April 25, 1953, by which time there were over 180 homes
  on what was once the Jones Farm; and
         WHEREAS, In 1955, North Richland Hills began annexing
  adjacent neighborhoods, and its population grew rapidly during the
  latter half of the 20th century; today, it is home to more than
  70,000 people, making it the fourth-largest city in Tarrant County;
  a vibrant suburban community, the city benefits from its close
  proximity to Fort Worth, as well as from being within commuting
  distance of Dallas; and
         WHEREAS, Residents of North Richland Hills enjoy a strong and
  reliable local infrastructure and an array of city services,
  including an expansive 800-acre park system; other popular
  attractions in the city include NRH2O Family Water Park, the first
  municipally owned water park in the State of Texas, as well as Iron
  Horse Golf Course, the Richland Tennis Center, and the North
  Richland Hills Library; and
         WHEREAS, Over the course of the past seven decades, North
  Richland Hills has built a well-deserved reputation as a desirable
  place to live and work, and its residents may take pride in the
  place they call home; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby commemorate the 70th anniversary of the City of
  North Richland Hills and extend to its citizens sincere best wishes
  for the future.
