SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 171
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
welcome the City of Frisco delegation to Austin for Frisco Day at
the Capitol, which is being celebrated February 12, 2019; and
WHEREAS, The City of Frisco traces its roots to 1902, when the
Saint Louis-San Francisco Railway built a line through the area and
established a watering station for its steam engines; local
residents chose Frisco City as their community's name in honor of
the railroad, and the name was later shortened to Frisco; and
WHEREAS, Throughout much of its history, Frisco was a small
agricultural community of fewer than 2,000 people; however, the
city experienced dramatic growth in the 1980s, and due to the
visionary leadership of citizens and the city's exceptional
quality of life, by 1990, Frisco was becoming one of the
fastest-growing cities in the country; and
WHEREAS, Today, Frisco is home to more than 182,000 people;
the city was named the Best Place to Live in America by Money
magazine in 2018, and it features a wide range of social,
cultural, and recreational opportunities for residents; it is
headquarters to seven professional sports teams, including the
Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Stars, and the Frisco RoughRiders; and
WHEREAS, The people of Frisco are justifiably proud of the
many contributions they have made to the growth and prosperity of
the North Texas region, and it is truly fitting that a day be set
aside to celebrate their city's exceptional assets; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby proclaim February 12, 2019, Frisco Day at the
Capitol and extend to the Frisco delegation best wishes for a
rewarding and memorable event; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
Nelson, Paxton
