H.R. No. 397

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Residents of Mansfield are visiting Austin on
February 20, 2019, to celebrate Mansfield Day at the State Capitol;
and
WHEREAS, Located in the Cross Timber country of North Central
Texas, the settlement was first established by pioneers in the
1840s; in the late 1850s, R. S. Man and Julian Feild built a
gristmill at the crossroads that later became the center of the
town, which was named for the two men; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Feild soon added a general store across the
street from the mill, and he became postmaster in 1860; though
incorporated in 1909, the town remained a farming community until
the suburban expansion of the Dallas/Fort Worth area brought a
population upsurge; and
WHEREAS, Today, residents can enjoy 240 acres of parks and a
quality of life reflected in Mansfield's multiple appearances on
Money magazine's yearly list of the top places to live in the United
States; and
WHEREAS, Celebrating their achievements as they embrace the
opportunities of the future, the citizens of Mansfield are
justifiably proud of the place they call home, and it is indeed
fitting to honor them and their unique contributions to the story of
the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 20, 2019, as Mansfield Day at
the State Capitol and extend to members of the visiting delegation
sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable stay in Austin.
