WHEREAS, Proud residents of Pleasanton are gathering in | ||
Austin on March 8, 2023, to celebrate Pleasanton Day at the State | ||
Capitol; and | ||
WHEREAS, Situated in Atascosa County at the juncture of the | ||
Atascosa River and Bonita Creek, Pleasanton was founded in 1858 | ||
as the new county seat and took its name from early settler John | ||
Pleasant; though the county seat was moved to Jourdanton in 1910, | ||
the town continued to thrive, and it was officially incorporated | ||
in 1917; over the years, it became a gathering place for cowboys | ||
driving cattle to Kansas and eventually adopted the moniker the | ||
"Birthplace of the Cowboy"; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, Pleasanton boasts a population of nearly | ||
11,000 people and is known as "The City of Live Oaks and Friendly | ||
Folks"; the community is served by the Pleasanton Independent | ||
School District, which encompasses a primary, elementary, junior | ||
high, and high school, and it benefits from the educational and | ||
vocational opportunities provided by Coastal Bend College; local | ||
residents and visitors enjoy a number of annual community events, | ||
including Cowboy Heritage Days, Merry on Main, and a Fourth of | ||
July celebration; and | ||
WHEREAS, The citizens of Pleasanton are working to | ||
preserve the best of their past while building a future of | ||
expanding opportunity, and its citizens may indeed take pride in | ||
the role their community plays in the story of the Lone Star | ||
State; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize March 8, 2023, as Pleasanton Day at | ||
the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the visiting | ||
delegation. | ||
