  H.R. No. 292
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Proud citizens of Mansfield are gathering in Austin
  on February 8, 2011, to celebrate Mansfield Day at the State
  Capitol; and
         WHEREAS, Located in North Central Texas, the Mansfield area
  was first settled by Scots-Irish pioneer farmers in the 1840s; the
  town itself developed some two decades later around a sawmill and a
  steam-powered gristmill built by Ralph S. Man and Julian B. Feild,
  for whom it was named; and
         WHEREAS, The gristmill provided flour to the Confederate Army
  during the Civil War and later supplied flour and meal to Indian
  reservations and U.S. Army outposts in West Texas and New Mexico; in
  1869, Mansfield Male and Female College was founded, later becoming
  part of the Mansfield Independent School District; the town was
  incorporated in 1909; and
         WHEREAS, Mansfield has since transformed from a rural farming
  community to a dynamic suburb of Fort Worth and Arlington; in the
  1970s, when the population was just 5,000, civic leaders encouraged
  graduate students from the Institute of Urban Studies at The
  University of Texas at Arlington to renovate the downtown, and
  today, more than 50,000 residents appreciate those efforts; and
         WHEREAS, Boasting 240 acres of parkland and a popular annual
  Pecan Festival, Mansfield appeals to locals and tourists alike; the
  city's family friendly atmosphere as well as its easy access to
  Dallas and Fort Worth helped place it in Money magazine's top 25
  places in the nation to live in 2009; and
         WHEREAS, Mansfield combines the best qualities of small town
  life with all the advantages of a thriving Metroplex suburb, and its
  citizens may take great pride in their hometown's contributions to
  the culture and economy of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be
  it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 8, 2011, as Mansfield Day at
  the State Capitol and extend to the visiting delegation sincere
  best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin.
