| WHEREAS, Proud residents of Johnson County are gathering | ||
| in Austin on March 25, 2025, in celebration of Johnson County Day | ||
| at the State Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Located in North Central Texas on the | ||
| southwestern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Johnson County | ||
| covers approximately 740 square miles; among the first known | ||
| settlers of the region was Henry Briden, who made his home along | ||
| the Nolan River in 1849; the county went on to be established in | ||
| 1854, and it was named in honor of Middleton T. Johnson, a veteran | ||
| of the Mexican War, a frontiersman, and a legislator; and | ||
| WHEREAS, During its early years, the county's economy was | ||
| driven by agriculture, primarily through corn, cotton, and | ||
| livestock production; in the mid- to late-1800s, several rail | ||
| lines were built through the region, and in 1898, the Santa Fe | ||
| Railroad established maintenance shops in the county seat of | ||
| Cleburne; these shops encompassed construction facilities and a | ||
| switchyard and brought economic growth and job opportunities to | ||
| the area; today, the county's leading industries include retail | ||
| trade, health care and social assistance, and manufacturing; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Johnson County boasts a number of attractions, | ||
| among them Cleburne State Park, Hamm Creek Park, the Cleburne | ||
| Railroad Museum, and the Mansfield Historic Museum and Heritage | ||
| Center; higher education institutions in the region include | ||
| Southwestern Adventist University and Hill College; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Offering an attractive rural setting combined | ||
| with proximity to urban amenities, Johnson County is an | ||
