H.R. No. 364

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Proud residents of Plano are celebrating the 150th
anniversary of the incorporation of their city with an event on
June 3, 2023; and
WHEREAS, Located in southwestern Collin County, Plano can
trace its origins to 1851, when Kentucky farmer William Forman
moved to Texas and purchased land from colonist Sanford Beck; that
same year, Mr. Forman built a general store and other enterprises
that formed a focal point for the small community; when a post
office was established in 1852, the name Plano was selected for the
town; in 1873, Plano was officially platted and incorporated, and
its first mayor and board of aldermen were elected; and
WHEREAS, Early in its history, Plano benefited from
manufacturing and ranching industries; railways were eventually
established in the area, and the city became a retail outlet for
farmers in the Blackland Prairie region; during the 1980s, Plano
experienced a period of tremendous growth, and major businesses
moved their headquarters to the city; and
WHEREAS, Today, Plano is home to more than 285,000 residents,
and the city serves as a major hub for commercial, financial, and
educational activities in Collin County; nicknamed the Balloon
Capital of Texas, the city hosts an annual hot air balloon festival;
Plano also boasts a number of historical sites, including the
Heritage Farmstead, the Interurban Railway Museum, Baccus Plaza,
and the original Texas-shaped pool; and
WHEREAS, Celebrating their rich history as they work to build
an even brighter future, residents of Plano are justifiably proud
of their community, and it is indeed fitting to recognize the city's
contributions to the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 150th anniversary of the city of
Plano and extend to its citizens sincere best wishes for the future;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the city as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
